Each of these women was married, and so it is the first part that should be compared. Marriage, in the Early Modern Period, allowed for women to have security outside of their parent’s home. Depending on location, women would usually get married in their mid-late teens, completed housework, and produced children.

    It takes a certain amount of will or determination to make such changes. The cultural pressure held over women to do certain tasks such as becoming a mother or getting married became quite overwhelming. This held them back from expressing themselves in a well-suited fashion. Overall, these three texts showed how women progressed in their own literature which had been written in different time periods. It allowed them each to rise to their full potential. The creative component is a full face mask meant to express something people tend to hide themselves behind. All three women at some point in their literature went through some form of battle. At the end of the battle or the end of their texts, they were stronger. They were not known just as creatures, but instead they had the strength and confidence they so desperately longed

Like with Perpetua, she had a path to follow to ensure a more monastic life for woman-kind; a path that would lead her to the two other women in the chapter: Caesaria, sister of Bishop Caesarius whose rules gave women (nuns) their rights and separation from men, and Baudonivia who was a nun and also took part in Radegund’s

    These pieces of text relate to one another in the means of women stepping up and becoming more than (as they were seen back in this time) wives and maids. The way that this gender was treated as a whole got better over time, but only because they fought for what they wanted. Firoozeh used Sedigeh's situation as a motivator and that led her to go to college and pursue her desired career. Nobody was there to hold her back from reaching her true potential, and it was the same thing for our ladies back in World War II. They exceeded greatness and began to fight for what they wanted most, and that was equality for women.

    Though women were subordinates by both the eye of the church and the government, women found ways to express authority both intentionally and unintentionally. Women began to act independently in patriarchal society. In 17th century Euro-America Puritan society believed that men played a patriarchal role upon women, and that this role was instituted by God and nature. The seniority of men over women lay within both the household and the public sphere. The household, immediate family living in the same dwelling was subject to the male as head figure of the house. The public sphere also known as the social life within the Puritan community consisted of two echelons. These echelons consisted of formal and informal public. The formal public consisted of woman and indentured servants. Women were to stay within the informal public and stay in the shadows of the men.

Women that took part in the overland trail, as described in “Women’s Diaries of the Westward Journey” had to try to follow these roles while facing many challenges that made it very difficult to do so. One of the most common expectations for women is that they are responsible for doing the chore of cleaning, whether it is cleaning the house, doing the laundry.

    The Roman institution of marriage has been lauded as being the first purely humanistic law of marriage, one that is based on the idea of marriage being a free and freely dissolvable union of two equal partners for life. (Schulz, 1951;103) This is quite a simplistic view, as there were many differing forms of marriage in Rome, from the arranged marriages of the elite to the unions of slaves and soldiers.
