What Life of Renaissance Women Was Really Like “What was life like for Renaissance women?” “If you were a woman in that time‚ would you have liked it?” and “How was the treatment towards women?” Questions like these keep pestering my mind as I research about the Renaissance.

This resulted in women making up 23.6% of the American labor force. This jump primarily included single women‚ as only 10% of married women worked outside the home

The daily life of a woman in ancient Rome was very restricted. The sole purpose of women was to bear children and to look after these children and the family’s house.
