How did womens roles change during the Renaissance?

During the renaissance, women were not only respected more than they were in the middle ages, but they were also given more opportunity to live life the way they wanted. Although they were given many more options, they were still very much subservient to men. They were expected to marry, and in their marriages, were expected to take care of the kids, make all the food, hand make the clothing, and ultimately take care of their husband. Women were respected to be chaste, and ultimately be tidy, beautiful, and obedient. Although many people believed that women were not effected by the renaissance, they very much were, and soon, womens jobs began to differentiate from mens jobs, although they were still paid less.
