I am learning about William Shakespear. Here are some interesting facts about the time period that he lived in, and the time period that Elizabethan Women lived.
1.Some females that came from a noble or wealthy family sometimes had the right to get an Education,if they were lucky enough to get the education then you would start getting tutored at the age 5 or even younger.
2. Women that were not wealthy or nobility did not get an education from school, woman were ment to learn how to govern a household,and to to be a housewife. All the skills that the woman learned were ones on how to raise children and to cook and to clean ect.....
