The lives of women in The Middle Ages were determined by the church and the aristocracy

Noble women’s positions were dictated by how much land they brought to marriage because land equaled power

Women’s place in the clergy was restricted to the nunnery. https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwj1zLOOubflAhWDg-AKHV9EAQsQjRx6BAgBEAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.history.com%2Fnews%2Fwomen-education-medieval-nuns-church&psig=AOvVaw12evuK14cbVdFzqFO4sKaX&ust=1572094115338024

In Medieval towns women often helped their husbands with their work. Sometimes if a man died his widow would carry on his trade.

Nuns from rich families were given the easiest work such as spinning wool and embroidery. https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwij1fD8uLflAhURZd8KHfmYAjUQjRx6BAgBEAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fhistoryseamstress.wordpress.com%2F2013%2F05%2F08%2Fcushion-embroidery-first-ever%2F&psig=AOvVaw0kviakjvg0Ig_IRWvEfBi3&ust=1572094080856539

Some women became nuns but they too had to work hard. At least they did if they were from poor families.

The rights of women from the earliest era through the last grew significantly owing largely to two distinct factors

the development of the concepts of courtly love and chivalry

the increasing popularity of the Cult of the Virgin Mary https://www.intriguing-history.com/cult-virgin-mary/
