The properties of dwarf spheroidals are reviewed with emphasis on the newly discovered Sextans system, as well as on the star formation histories, the dark matter content and the abundance - luminosity relation of these galaxies. The relation of dwarf spheroidals to other dwarf galaxies is also discussed.
