What was the role of women in Feudal Japan?
A woman was expected to obey her father, husband, and son. Women who belonged to the aristocracy were allowed to take part politics. Women could also become samurai warriors but this was not allowed if they were in the aristocratic class. In farming families, women had a greater say in whom they married. However, they worked long hours in the fields planting or harvesting rice.
