Homework

The women in medieval times have little to no role in the male dominated society. The women of this time had to know their place in society. They were expected to support their husbands and to do their daily work. Women had a lot of responsibilities towards their families. In the villages, the women would do the same work as men, but they would be payed less. For example, For reaping, a man could get 8 pence a day. For the same task, women would get 5 pence. For hay making, men would earn 6 pence a day while women got 4 pence, but the women could not complain about this because they lived in a male dominated society. 90% of them lived in villages ,so they had to do some kind of farm. In conclusion, life in the middle ages was full of misery.
