Mary Arden Shakespeare was the heiress of her father's country estate, although her marriage to John Shakespeare (William's father) father slowly drained much of her inheritance. Her primary responsibility was to manage the household (a much more difficult job in those days than it is now), and presumably she also assisted in her husband's leather business.
