Why were medieval women expected to bring a dowry into a marriage?
Most medieval women wanted to marry, and a dowry made a woman more attractive. Even the serf women had dowries, which were their hope chests and the money they could save as they waited to marry. The time that was used saving was often several years, and was one of the reasons why medieval peasant women tended to marry rather late, in their mid twenties. The benefit of the dowry was to the couple, and the dowry often included things that were mostly of interest to women; in later times this might have included table linen, curtains, china, and tableware. Peasant men brought to their marriage a proven ability to provide for a family, and this also meant they had to put off marriage to about the same age, mid twenties.

Why did women want rights?
They wanted to be treated equally. Decisions about their life were being made, and they had no say in those decisions. They wanted to be able to decide whether to go to school, whether to have a career, whether to marry, whether to participate in politics, whether to have children, etc. Under the old law, women were considered the property of their father, and then their husband. If a father refused to send his daughter to school, there was not much she could do about it. And a husband could beat his wife without any penalty, or take her money (if she had inherited some), or forbid her from working, or force her to have more children. Women wanted to be treated with respect and to be free to make choices, rather than have someone else make all the decisions for them.
