During the Renaissance it was expected of women to be married off and then perform their duties as wives and mothers. Women were not allowed to hold any occupation outside of the home. I think joining a convent was an alternative to marriage because that was where women could learn how to read and paint, and where they could participate in activities that have been denied to them. Many women artists only used their first initial when signing their works so that they were not identified as women. Suor Plautilla Nelli fir example signed her works "S. Plautilla". Plautilla is the first known female painter in Florence who entered the Dominican convent of Santa Caterina da Siena in 1538. She studied and copied works from Agnolo Bronzino, Andrea

The second area that saw the littlest change for women in the Renaissance was the expectations that came with their social status. Overall women were deemed to be a lower class in terms of gender, and men often treated them with less respect as a result. Within social classes, stereotypical beliefs regarding women and their role were held. Lower class women were expected to be housewives and take care of everything to do with the house. The expectation of working-class women, however, was slightly different. They were expected to work for their husbands and help them run their business, although they couldn’t partake in any of the work by themselves or outside of the house. However, this different expectation wasn’t necessarily new and was upheld from previous times, supporting this idea of women not receiving a Renaissance in the area of social class. Some women in the elite were able to become slightly more independent from their husbands and gain more responsibility, but the vast majority of women in the Renaissance continued to be used for the sole benefits of the men; as providers of a dowry, homemakers

During the Renaissance time period, each man and woman needed to strive to meet the “ideal” image that was expected by society. If this image was not met, the person would be judged by society. Both males and females had different goals that they needed to meet in education, as well as in their lives. While there was an “ideal” image, some people disagreed with them. There was always a distinct role for both women and men, but within those roles, there could be controversy. The most controversy could occur over the education that the males and females were getting, there were clear roles and ideals for men and women in the beginning of the Renaissance time period, but as time went on, people became more skeptical of the
“Ordinary human beings are born with an extraordinary ability to fight evil with decency” (Rusesabagina 109). Paul Rusesabagina is the definition of this quote , he was an ordinary man, with an extraordinary tongue. Paul’s tongue was his most significant asset throughout his career, the genocide, and his life. Paul did not need a machete or a knife during the genocide, his tongue was his weapon. He used the power of his tongue to defend the refugees, the Hotel Mille Collines, his family, and himself from the evilness of the genocide.

As mentioned before, the main role for woman in the renaissance was to produce children for her husband and handle household affairs, this was proven in the document by Alberti when he had said “Furthermore, I made it a rule never to speak with her of anything but household matters or of the children. Of these matters I spoke a great deal to her…(Famiglia, D., 1996, pg 40). Thus showing the wife’s role was greatly dependent on her house and children. It was also important, especially in the nobility, that the children the wife gave birth to were her husband’s children. Her role
To start with, there is a stereotype called “a women 's place is in the home" had determined many of the ways women had expressed themselves. As women would generally expected to stay home and care for the children, society at that time pressured women to become wives and mothers which prevented women from pursuing careers and further their education to go to college. For example, women were to be married by twenty one years old and expected to begin having children right after. Marriage was viewed as a profession open to middle class women. Because of that,the idea was
Some medieval women held other jobs. There were women blacksmiths, merchants and apothecaries. Others were midwives, workers in the fields, or spent their time writing, playing musical instruments, dancing or painting.

Born into a heavily traditional Greek family, going to Greek school and being “the awkward one”, Toula Portakalos was able to find balance in her life despite all the negative and positive influences thrown at her. As a young girl, Toula had always been discouraged to do anything that is not Greek related by her father, Kosta Portakalos, this made it hard for Toula to be able to do what she really wanted. As Toula grew up, she started to realize that the life her family wanted her to live was not the life that she wanted. She did not want to marry a Greek man, have Greek babies and work in her family's Greek restaurant for the rest of her life. Instead, she wanted to study computers and marry a man that she really loved. Negative influences
When we refer to members of a society as either male or female, we are referring only to the sex of human beings. However, masculinity and femininity, refer to “gender formed by a society and culture” (Rackin 2005, 27). The hierarchy of the Renaissance family is structured and organized with the male having the most dominant and authoritative role in the household and the wife being obedient to her husband. “Children remained, nevertheless, completely under the control of their families (their fathers really)—girls until their marriages, boys until they were formally emancipated, usually at about age twenty-five” (National Gallery of Art). People were not
It was believed that women always needed someone to look after them. If they were married, their husband was expected to look after them. If they were single, then their father, brother or another male relative was expected to take care of them. They were not allowed to go to school or university nor could they inherit their father’s titles.Women who suffered most in this period were those like the Queen who did not wish to marry. Tudor society did not have many opportunities open to single women and, following the Reformation, those avenues were even less. Before, women were able to become nuns and look forward to a gratifying life in convents, and perhaps be a Mother Superior one day. But with the Reformation, the convents were closed. Wealthy single women could look
Renaissance Florence was a very hierarchical society where there were different classes of people and each class had a certain function. One such class was the merchant class. Just like society in general, the merchant class family was structured in a way that gave certain people certain roles. While it is fairly obvious what a man’s role was, it is sometimes difficult to discern what exactly a woman’s role was in this male-dominated society due to varying and oftentimes conflicting accounts. In a Renaissance Florentine merchant family, a woman’s official function was to have children, to raise them, and to help arrange their marriages when they came of age. However, it was possible, under the correct circumstances, for a woman to expand her role within the family while still conforming to the patriarchal ideal.
