What did the medieval women couldn't do?

Women could not be ordained in the Church, and so could not be deacons, priests, or bishops. Women were not allowed to rule some countries as monarchs, including France, the Holy Roman Empire. Technically, they were not allowed to be monarchs of Denmark, but Queen Margaret I of Denmark did anyway. Technically, they were allowed to rule England and Scotland, but no women were crowned in those countries until after the Middle Ages ended. Women did not inherit titles or property as easily as men did. Eleanor of Aquitaine is one example of one who did. Women were excluded from most, but not all, orders of Knighthood. They were also excluded from some, but not all, guilds. The numbers of women who were stone masons or carpenters is impressive. They were excluded from some schools, but some were for women only, and some were coeducational. I have read that they were excluded from universities, but I see no reason to believe it. Based on the things I have read on women in the Middle Ages, I would suggest no statment on the subject be regarded as true unless it is backed with source citations. There is a lot of bad information out there. There is a link below to a related question, "What did medieval women do?" There is more information there, along with a number of links to articles.
