During the Elizabethan era, Eve and women in general were traditionally viewed as weak, witless, and sinful for obeying Satan and eating the apple from the Tree of Knowledge. Full blame was cast upon Eve and consequentially, women suffered from this common perspective.
Still apart from being responsible for children and the household, women also worked.
Women of the upper classes enjoyed life and intrigued at court like the men.
Women of the middle classes often helped in the business and took care of the household at the same time.
Some were landladies or shopkeepers.
Women in cities of the lower classes, would often provide labor for the guilds (as seamstresses, tanners, weavers etc) or be midwives or market-women or prostitutes.
Women at farms worked at the land like the men, but were also responsible for spinning, weaving, making clothes, taking care of small animals, the house and children.
