I had to read this book because of what we are studying in history and my mom wants me to write a report about it for school! I liked this book! It told you almost everything that you need to know about Women in Medieval Times!
You learn that they are not very important and that it didn't matter who they married. Their parents picked her husband and it didn't matter about, good looks and if they LIKED each other! All that the parents cared about was how rich they were and the land and things like that!
When a rich women had a baby she hardly saw it! She had it taken care of, but a peasant women ( poor women) they had to take care of their children every second!
When they became widows (because their husband died) it was easy for a peasant women because she didn't have all this land to take care of! But it was hard for a rich women because her husband would leave her ALL this land and she would have to take care of it.
I learned that their husbands could beat them if they were lazy and didn't obey. They could beat them but not really, really, really badly. And they hardly got punished at all.
Some women kind of were married to God. They would lock themselves up in a small dark room and be there a lot of their lives! I think they would have people come and give them food but they never came out.
I would have anyone to read this book if they wanted to learn about women back then!
