~ What was the expected role of women in Shakespeare’s time?

If we looked back in the time of Shakespeare, I would have to say that women did not really have a role in life. They basically listen to there husband or father, and just did what they told. If we took a look back and think about ever movie or story that was written about those times, if seems has if the women were told just to look pretty, and never really have a thought on anything else. Even back then sometimes the women did even get to pick out their husband; they just listen to their father on what man to be with for their rest of their life. Women back in those days were not treated as people, which in my mind is horrible. They didn’t have any rights, and it was like they only goal for them was to look good for your husband, and in front of other people. As a child going up we watch all these “Once upon a Time” movies and both the boys and girls love them. Although, as we get older we realize how the women in most of those movies, did not have any rights to do anything. I thought the reading by author Woolf, I thought she explained very strong points, and has ideas that I never really thought of. Women back in the time of Shakespeare were not treated with any respect at all, and I’m glad we do not live that life style that they once did.
