What role did women play? |
Women did not have any rights until Justinian's wife fought in the city of Constantinople for their rights.If it wasn't for her the women of the Byzantine empire wouldn't have the rights they deserve.And who knows women of the untied states might not have rights if it wasn't for her. Women did not work they were not aloud to have an education.Most women were mothers and stayed at home took care of their children and the home. Some of the tasks the women did were cooking,cleaning,caring for children and finding food.
