Some women would have been critical because it was male-dominated and male-centric.
The Enlightenment was heavily influenced by the Scientific Revolution, as it emphasized reason, empirical evidence, and skepticism of traditional authority. The advancements in scientific thought encouraged Enlightenment thinkers to apply similar rational approaches to philosophy, politics, and society. While the Enlightenment could have occurred without the Scientific Revolution, the latter provided a crucial framework that shaped its ideas and ideals. Thus, the two movements are deeply interconnected, with the Scientific Revolution serving as a catalyst for Enlightenment thought.
Although Chivalry is widely held to have been a romantic and gallant ideology that exemplified the very best qualities of the â??genteelâ?? warrior, chivalryâ??s legacy has not been entirely positive. While on one hand, it called for the protection of women, and this might be considered a good thing, this belief system also reinforced the theory of feminine inadequacy and objectified women.
Women in the royal households had washer women of their own, but they were not ordinary washer women. They had to be trusted to keep such questions as whether the queen might be pregnant to themselves.
In all cultures and times there have been women who wanted to see their families prosper and their children grow healthy. And there have been other women whose goals have been different, in whatever way and for whatever reason. In medieval times, most women were serfs, and serfs had very few opportunities. They also left few records, but we can guess that without opportunities, these women were probably mostly without ambitions beyond the safety and health of their families. And they probably felt very little power to influence things to see their very humble hopes fulfilled. We cannot speak of the people of the Middle Ages without speaking of religion. There were a number of women, just as there were a number of men, whose dominant goal was for the salvation of their own souls, or for serving God, possibly by nursing the sick or feeding the hungry, or hosting pilgrims. Many women had these simple goals, and lived by them. The middle ages had its share of upwardly mobile people. Men and women of this type could have as goals anything that might be within their reach, and perhaps a few things that were not. Middle class women doubtless wanted to become members of the nobility, which some managed to do. Members of the nobility wanted to become more rich or more powerful. And while some women might have seen themselves as the power behind the throne, or some title, advancing their husbands and guiding them, there were a few who took control in their own right. And a few of these even succeeded.
The seeds of the enlightenment came from theology. The Systematic Theology of Maimonides, Thomas, and Calvin, enabled philosophers to think systematically. That gave the basis. Then, the Turks conquered Constantinople in 1453. Thousand of scholars, Christians and Jews, came to Europe. During the Reformation, the ancient wisdom of Rome and Greece became known all over Europe. In 1648 the 30 years war ended in Europe. At that point, religious wars ended. Also at that point, after so many Christians had been killing Christians, interest in Christianity declined. Intellectuals began looking for something to replace it. In England Francis Bacon proposed the idea that Science could solve a number of problems that had never previously been solved. He would influence all that followed. His thinking would influence the Enlightenment. Thomas Hobbes came up with his ideas on materialism and law. They would have an influence. Then John Locke stepped into the void. With his ideas, the enlightenment began. Hume continued it. In France, it influenced Voltaire and Rousseau. As people involved in the Enlightenment visited other nations, it spread there. Then in France it turned into the French Revolution. The Romantic Movement was a reaction against the Enlightenment.

A person who believed in the ideas of the Enlightenment might have assessed the Salem witch trials as being abuses of power. He probably would have thought that the women weren't treated with the natural rights owed to people, including freedom from torture.
European women of the Enlightenment did not enjoy greater rights or opportunities than women in other times or places. In fact, because of new laws concerning women's ability to own property and businesses, they were often more severely restricted than they had previously been.
This is most likely William Herschel.
No! There were camp followers, but no front line soldiers. Women might have driven wagons or been nurses.
Enlightenment as a spiritual goal - has been defined as: 'the end of suffering'. 'natural state of being' 'having no argument with what is'. The 'age of enlightenment' as a philosophical idea refers to a period in Western history when reason gained dominance. Enlightenment has different definitions in spirituality and philosophy.
it might have been different because if Abigail Adams didnt write john Adams those letters on how to make the better decisions about womens rights and slavery he might have not let women have there rights but since Abigail convinced him to give women their rights he did.
i think it might have been Abigail Adams
the church age would have not started. the enlightenment was a period of time in which churches became popular because people began having spiritual revelations on a massive scale. the church age is the time period from the enlightenment to the present in which the churches that appeared as a result thrive. if not for the enlightenment the presence of these churches would have been fewer and less people would know about some of the popular religions of today. with the development of technology as it is today the enlightenment would have simply happened at a later time.
Church officials may have been critical of Sister Juana Ines de la Cruz's works due to their strong feminist and intellectual themes, which challenged traditional gender roles and the authority of the church. Her writings questioned societal norms and advocated for women's education and independence, which went against the patriarchal views of the time.
Currently, women are not allowed to serve in the US Navy SEALs. However, there has been discussion about potentially opening up these roles to women in the future. As of now, women play critical roles in many other areas of the military, serving as pilots, engineers, medics, and in numerous support positions.
Her life would have been relatively uneventful as all the great milestones of flying had been achieved by women then.
