Women in Classical Athens

 * Symbol voting keep.svg for all 3, though I don't like ALT1 (somewhat misleading unless you know the first hook, & surely modern politicians also just say "my mother"?). Recent GA, all 3 hooks check out.  Nice article, though 1 image only shows men (see talk). Earwig picks up nothing.  Johnbod (talk) 19:52, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
