Book for Women in the Middle Ages

In the Middle Ages, books written for women by men were based on bible passages and men's beliefs of how women had to be and act. "The head of the woman is the man"(Corinthians 11). "Women are commanded to be under obedience and also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home"(Ephesian 5). Those statements are clearly examples of how women had to conduct themselves according to the bible's passages.The books for women where just to teach them how to be obedient, quiet, faithful, good wives and so on. Obviously, those books portrayed women as inferior to men. The interpretations of the bible were in part responsible for the belief that women were inferior than men in medieval times.
