This is just one Abby, an excerpt and the site:

= The Monks Day = Morning Main services Mid day first meal Afternoon work Early Evening rest then second meal Evening early to bed Night church services The Abbey was home for about 100 monks who spent their time worshipping God. The first monks came to the Abbey from Clung in France, so the monks were called Cluniacs which had risen from another type of monk, the Benedictine order. Each day they attended eight services in the Abbey Church

The Monks day started at 3.00 am when they went to the first of eight services in the Abbey Church. The services could last up to two hours. Although everyone stood all through the services, the monks had misericords which meant they could rest their rear on a small shelf. The site and the rest of the story. * http://atschool.eduweb.co.uk/radstock/rht/themes/religion/monksday.html

How do you upgrade women in Buddhism?

I am afraid that this question makes no sense. There is no upgrading of men or women in Buddhism. Men and women are to be treated as equals. The only differentiation in Buddhism is between Lay people and Monks/Nuns. Lay people can marry, hold jobs, raise a family. Monks and Nuns dedicate their lives to reaching enlightenment and to aiding others. Therefore they do not marry or hold jobs.
