Women and The Gild in Medieval Times

The gild in the medieval times were an essential part of life. There were many benefits of becoming a member of a gild. Gild members were supported by the gild in case of sickness, death and working conditions. They helped with the goods of the members, helped with funeral expenses, orphans and the most important they strongly fought for working conditions such as better pay, less hours and so on. Women were also admited in the gild and this was a great improvement to women's independence in that time.
