Is a characteristic of Gothic cathedrals?
One characteristic of Gothic cathedrals is their pointed arches, which help distribute weight more efficiently than rounded arches. Another characteristic is the use of ribbed vaults, which allowed for higher ceilings and more natural light to enter the building through stained glass windows. Flying buttresses are also a distinctive feature of Gothic cathedrals, providing external support for the walls and allowing for thinner walls and larger windows.
What brought new heights to cathedral ceilings during the high middle ages?
Gothic architecture had much taller rooms than the earlier Romanesque buildings had. Higher ceilings and taller windows were possible by combining certain elements, including the pointed arch and the ribbed vault, which had been used separately already. This was done, according to historians, by Abbot Suger at the Church of Saint-Denis, near Paris, in 1140.

Was feminism and idea of the Renaissance?
Yes Feminism was a part of the renaissance ideal. Renaissance means literally "rebirth" and feminism was not a rebirth but a birth of women's idealism. Even though it wasn't a rebirth of an idea it was still an renaissance ideal in that it re-birthed women in general to a higher status in society. Women before the renaissance were insignificant. During and after the rebirth they played bigger roles in society as artist and writer. Both of which were originally only men's occupations.
