The
Protestant Reformation placed family in the center of social life. Celibacy was abolished. Women earned
limited rights in divorce, and education.
Luther & Calvin wanted
them in the home. Literacy became
important for both boys and girls.
Protestants curbed festivals.
Women patronized the arts.
Working conditions for lower classes largely remained as before. Most humanists favored education for women---but never
equal. To a degree the status of
women DECLINED during this period since they became pawns in marriage alliances and were viewed as objects of
art.
