Women in the Middle Ages

Imagine a world where women had very little opportunity to change their position in society. In fact, women in the Middle Ages of all social levels had few opportunities for education or advancement. They had only two real options available to them: marriage or the Church.

Becoming a nun in the Church would sometimes allow a girl to receive a limited education. But most women had to marry to change or maintain their social standing. A single woman’s position was tied to her father’s; a married woman’s position was tied to her husband’s.

In order to attract a good husband, a girl’s parents would offer a dowry, consisting of money or property. When a girl married, her husband received her dowry. Although the money involved in a woman’s dowry came with her into a marriage, it was not her own money and she herself could not inherit from her parents. According to the system of primogeniture, in which firstborn sons inherited title and property, even firstborn daughters of wealthy nobles had to marry to secure their position.
