    Female characters in the plays of Menander often spoke in a way that highlighted their intelligence, wit, and ability to debate with male characters. While these women were still confined to the domestic sphere, the language they used challenged the stereotypical view of women as simple, obedient, and subordinate. Menander presented female speech that showed women could be a intellectual match for men and exert influence through reasoned arguments rather than just obedience.
