Your guess is based on what? The history of American women in the fifties?
It is a great misconception that women just did housework in medieval times.
On farms women would work in the fields when it was light. They also did the cooking, weaving, spinning, taking care of children and little animals, and also being able to use herbs when someone got sick.
Some would become nuns, who took care of the work in monastries, but also produced wine and honey and took care of sick people.
The church tried to forbid women from doing work that requiered them to read, but women would often work with their husbands in businesses or sell things on markets. As cities became more important, some women became masters in guilds, often after a husband died or if she was trained by her father.
Since women were often discriminated against, most women in guilds were employed by masters, especially in the textile industry and the leather industry, but also in many other professions.
Also, women would also frequently run inns, work as servants or midwives.
Noblewomen were responsible for the girls put in her charge. Whenever her husband was absent, she would supervise the adminstration and going-ons in the estate. Some even let the defense of a castle or served as regent for their sons, if they were still young when they became lords.
