Peasant women helped in the fields, but their primary domain was the household where cooking and child-rearing took place. The skill of training young girls fell to the more mature women of the household. Women could inherit property and pass it on to heirs. Women's social and political roles, while complementary to men's, remained subordinate. Marriages were often arranged through lineages, and virginity was highly regarded of young women at marriage. Their skill at weaving was also highly regarded.
