Best Answer

Women of higher class had more opportunities to study. Some started translating and publishing books. Also more women of the middle classes learned to read, especially because of the invention of the printing press and the reformation (which encouraged people to read The Bible).

While women often tended the house, if they had no servants, they also worked in the business or had jobs like midwives, market-sellers, seamstresses or provided labor for guilds, a few even becoming masters.

Farm women worked on the land, but were also responible for food, children, weaving and spinning.

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.
