    The document describes the typical day and life of a lower class woman in the Middle Ages. She would wake up very early, around 3 AM, to prepare meals and work all day both inside and outside the home. Her tasks included cooking, cleaning, caring for animals and children, weaving, and more. She had little leisure time and worked until nightfall. Her education was also limited and she had no choice in who she married or other major life decisions. Today, women have much more freedom and choice over their lives compared to women in the Middle Ages.
