I do not believe women in the feudal era had any rights unless they were of noble blood or were priestess'.
Medieval European women were expected to obey the Church and the laws of the land. There were probably a few people who expected them to obey their husbands, but there were also probably a few people who expected the husbands to obey their wives. I know this might sound like a joke, but the wedding vows went both ways and included "obey" both ways in at least some parts of Europe and some Churches.
the opportunity for middle-class women to think about society
In American society, women have the same legal rights as men. There are many women working in prestigious and highly skilled professions.
Over 2000 years ago people used parts of the bible to read into it that women were "weaker" and that man was to take care of them. This concept extended to the society in general and women were seen as weaker. During the middle ages the Church taught that people were born in sin and since woman bore children they were seen as sinful. This carried over into the art and other things in the society As societies changed and grew the discrimination was more established in the society.

Of course! In fact, there may be more women members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) than men! The Church has a women's group called the "Relief Society" which plays a major role in the Church both on the personal level and the international relief level. Relief Society gives women an opportunity to learn, worship, serve, and fellowship with one another. There is also a group for teen girls and women ages 12 to 18, called "Young Women's Mutual Organization". Women in the Church are highly important, and are responsible for running several programs, including the Relief Society, Young Women, and Children's Primary (Sunday School). They plan congregational activities and work with Church leadership to meet the needs of the congregation. Women also commonly speak in worship services, teach Sunday School to adults and children, lead scripture study groups, and lead the congregation in prayer. You can see the "Related Links" below to learn more about women in the Church.
Women are of a lower social rank in Puritan society than men. Only men can lead in church, and the church rules the society. This therefore makes the women quite powerless. The Salem witch trials give women, especially the young and unmarried Abigail Williams, a power over the important and influential members of society. By using the witchcraft trials, Abigail is able to accuse innocent citizens and receive the attention and power that she previously lacked.

The way in which catholic beliefs make the society unequal is as it opposes the equality of women. Nuns are not allowed to own property, Women are not allowed to hold high office within the catholic church. Only men can be priests.
