In the late Middle Ages, societal norms and expectations heavily dictated women's roles, emphasizing domesticity and subservience. Women were often confined to household duties and child-rearing, with few legal rights or opportunities for education that would enable them to pursue nontraditional roles. The prevailing patriarchal structure reinforced the idea that a woman's primary value lay in her ability to marry and bear children, discouraging aspirations beyond these confines. Consequently, the fear of social ostracism and economic insecurity further limited women's willingness to step outside established roles.
