What is the summary of the story, The Adventures of Montgomery may? Whenever people answer my question I give them high points!

For ten years, Montgomery May traveled the world in a battered old ship.

When he returned home, he told everyone about the adventures he’d had and

the feats he had accomplished.

One of his most renowned feats was a leap. “I leaped from the island of

Rhodes to the mainland of Turkey, the great sea nipping at my ankles the

whole way,” Montgomery boasted one day to a crowd in the town square.

“Hundreds of people saw me do it. I leaped a greater distance than any man

has ever leaped. Anyone who saw me would tell you so.”

Cecil Saunders, Montgomery’s old rival, smiled. “No need to wait for

those people, Montgomery,” he said. “Pretend you are in Rhodes and show us

how far you can jump.”

Montgomery paused for only a moment. “Gladly, Cecil. If it meets with

your approval, I shall leap from Partridge Point”—and here he pointed to a

rocky outcrop where his ship was anchored—“to Isla’s Island.”

Cecil peered at the black dot far out at sea. “Hmph. Not quite the distance

from Rhodes to Turkey, but I suppose it will have to do.”

“Tomorrow morning at 7 a.m. sharp,” said Montgomery. “But such a leap

requires considerable sustenance and ample rest beforehand.” He now raised

his voice to the crowd. “Who among you will fuel me to my success?”

The townspeople cheered and crowded around him, each competing to

feed and house such an honored guest for the night. After much

effort, the wealthiest man in town persuaded Montgomery to come

and sup and sleep at his home.

And that was how Montgomery May came to eat a rich meal

and sleep in a vast featherbed before sneaking out to his boat

at 6 a.m. and sailing into the sunrise—doubtless to have more

adventures and accomplish more feats.

Explanation:

freeborn women in ancient rome were citizens (cives), but could not vote or hold political office. because of their limited public role, women are named less frequently than men by roman historians. but while roman women held no direct political power, those from wealthy or powerful families could and did exert influence through private negotiations. exceptional women who left an undeniable mark on history range from lucretia and claudia quinta, whose stories took on mythic significance; fierce republican-era women such as cornelia, mother of the gracchi, and fulvia, who commanded an army and issued coins bearing her image; women of the julio-claudian dynasty, most prominently livia (58 bc-ad 29), who contributed to the formation of imperial mores; and the empress helena (c.250–330 ad), a driving force in promoting christianity.

women in the ancient greek world had few rights in comparison to male citizens. unable to vote, own land, or inherit, a woman’s place was in the home and her purpose in life was the rearing of children. this, though, is a general description, and when considering the role of women in ancient greece one should remember that information regarding specific city-states is often lacking, is almost always from male authors, and only in athens can their status and role be described in any great detail. neither are we sure of the practical and everyday application of the rules and laws that have survived from antiquity. we do know that spartan women were treated somewhat differently than in other states. for example, they had to do physical training like men, were permitted to own land, and could drink wine.
