 __Role of Women__ By: Maddie McLaughlin

Women had many different roles either if they were Peasant Women, Noblewomen, or Townswomen.

Peasant women lived on the countryside in villages surrounded by farm lands. In the center of rooms were a fire, which women cooked food on. They made simple food that they grow in their gardens. Peasant women also would get together and comb sheep’s fleece for wool, weave cloth, sew, and wash clothes in stream nearby. They also did farmwork like milking cow, and feeding the animals.

The town women had a main job that was to look after the family home by coking, supervising and rasing their children. Some townswomen made cloth and other clothes for weathlier families. Some of the women were called Hucksters and they went from house to house selling items and food. Other women had their own business like preparing food, for people who didn’t have kitchens. Noblewomen who lived in castle they were expected to reach their major goal, which was to have children. They were expected to have children from when they were married and every year after until they were in late thirty’s. Noblewomen were not expected to do much they had their own servants who did everything for them and their children. The women didn’t do much but they did a lot of supervising the castle. They collected money and made sure servants were paid on time.

The noblewomen were expected to reach their major goal that was to have children and a lot of children. Every year after they were married they were expected to have a baby until they were in their late 30’s. The women had high expectations and if they would achieve their number one goal. They were rewarded with people taking care of their children and making sure they were okay, and felt fine with everything they wanted.

The noblewomen had many children but however they didn’t take care of them. The servants who worked for the castle often had to provide for the kids and give them what they want or demand for their children.

The townswomen had to make clothes or give food to the castle. They had to do that in their free time. And when something was demanded they had no choice but to give it to who wanted it.

The Peasant women didn’t do a lot of cooking and cleaning they did a ton of working in the field and working with the other peasant women. They would often get together and go and comb the sheep for wool. The peasant women had work to do that the men would normally do with working in the fields.  Women had fewer opportunities than men had in jobs outside homes and became leaders in community. Although women don’t get many chances at jobs they still are great achievers, workers, writers, artists, doctors, warriors, and even rulers.

It was important that the women had jobs to do with cooking and cleaning and preparing food because if not it wouldn’t get done. The women who did work and provide for their families helped out get things done. They also had food ready if they weren’t working on the fields when the men got home or children food was ready and the house would be clean.
