During the Renaissance, the views of women's roles began to shift as humanist ideals emphasized education and individual potential. While traditional roles as wives and mothers remained prevalent, increased access to education allowed some women to engage in arts, literature, and intellectual pursuits. Notable figures like Isabella d'Este and Christine de Pizan emerged, challenging societal norms and advocating for women's rights. However, despite these advancements, societal expectations still largely confined women to domestic spheres.
It really didn't change much. Women were either seen as virgins or sinners. They were unable to own property, noble women were contracted to marry while still children to older men, and they were not given civil rights. Women were chattel in most cases, but there were a few who were able to break free. Katherine of Aragon was one woman who could do what she wanted. She went to the crusades, owned her property, was the mother of 3 kings, and the wife of two. She had a lot of power, but this was unusual in this time period.
The similarities of Renaissance men and women were that they both had to be charming and know art. The differences were men had to create art while women had to inspire art and men had to strive in every field.
