Femme Sole

Femme Sole was a great improvement for women in the medieval times. Women who were single, widows and also some of them who were married had certain property rights. Femme Sole was granted legal independence where unmarried women could own, transfer property, collect and keep rentand sell property. There were usually involved in business of some kind. They worked as merchants, brewers, in the household and so on. This law represented an important improvement for women in the Middle Ages due to the fact that they could support themselves and their families.
