I think medieval women did more work than medieval men for the same reason that women have always worked more than men. I am not really sure what that reason is, but I think women are less easily satisfied with the way things are, or, put another way, (speaking as a man) men are more willing to be lazy.

What was the reward for women who worked in the middle ages?

Working women were paid money, just as men were. They were paid less than men, for the most part, with the excuse often being that they were not as strong. They also found it difficult to get into the best paying jobs, though they did do it from time to time. There is a link below to a related question, "What did medieval women do?"

How do you compare jobs today to medieval jobs?

Today's jobs tend to be less physically demanding, but require more education than the medieval jobs did. Also in the Middle Ages, people were much more likely to do the same things their parents did than they are today. There are many more different kinds of jobs today than there were then, though the medieval job list is surprisingly long. Medieval people tended to work longer hours than people do today, and they were probably more willing to do risky work because they knew that life was short and hard, and that they would go to better things if they were good.


How did the power in the middle ages change?

The issue of the power of women in the Middle Ages is very complicated, and I think books could be written on the subject without doing it complete justice. There were many medieval monarchs who were women, such as Empress Irene of the Byzantine Empire, who was on the throne when Charlemagne was crowned emperor in Rome. And the political power women had in the Middle Ages seems to have continued through the period and into the Renaissance, with such powerful Queens as Margaret I of Denmark, who was medieval, and Elizabeth I of England, who was later. There were important female military leaders; Joan of Arc is possibly best known, but by no means alone in the class. Interestingly, though I can name other medieval women who lead or served in armies, I cannot think of many of later times. The impression I have, which is shared by some others, is that medieval women began to lose some power toward the end of the Middle Ages, and that Renaissance women had less, in general, than their predecessors. One example of this is the exclusion of women by guilds that had previously allowed them as members, which began in the Late Middle Ages. Another is the fact that women were no longer appointed to the knightly Order of the Garter for a long time after the Middle Ages. Yet another is laws of the Late Middle Ages that transferred a woman's property to her husband, when they married. I put a link to a related question below. Though it does not address this specific question, you might find it interesting.

How many dresses did queens have in the Medieval Times and the Renaissance?

Queens in the earliest medieval times had no more dresses than an ordinary modern woman would. In fact I would bet some had only two, one to wear and one to wash. But then some queens were confined to convents. Things got better for women in general as the Middle Ages passed. I have read the when Queen Elizabeth I died, she had many hundreds of gowns.
