Women contributed through their labor to the welfare of the community. Women played an important part in public affairs. They practiced birth control through abortion and infanticide. Women committed crimes and were indicted. They owned property and administered estates. The drive toward economic growth and expansion abroad rested on the capacity of women to staff and manage economic endeavors at home. In the later Middle Ages, the social position of women altered significantly, and the reasons why the role of women in society tended to become more restrictive are examined in these essays.Middle Ages.WomenHistoryMiddle Ages, 500-1500Social historyMedieval, 500-1500WomenHistorySocial history301Bolton Brenda525615Stuard Susan Mosher1676956MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807348003321Women in medieval society4043457UNINA
