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. 410 0$aMiddle Ages. 606 $aWomen$xHistory$yMiddle Ages, 500-1500 606 $aSocial history$yMedieval, 500-1500 615 0$aWomen$xHistory 615 0$aSocial history 676 $a301 701 $aBolton$b Brenda$0525615 701 $aStuard$b Susan Mosher$01676956 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807348003321 996 $aWomen in medieval society$94043457 997 $aUNINA
