Don't worry, Athens didn't have senators or representatives, so should just would have had to convince a majority of the menfolk individually. Of course, had she tried to do so, probably they would have found some reason to exile, kill her, or worse, marry her off.

Ain't the past grand?

Hey, Athens were the champion of democracy and human rights of their time. One just had to be a well-off man with both Athenian parents to feel the benefits. ๐ŸŒš
