The image of womanhood represented in this piece is of females that don't have a voice and aren't able to take control of their own lives which we will see a lot of throughout this semester. The image of a woman not having a voice on any matters concerning herself does uphold to Renaissance expectations regarding the female gender. During the Renaissance era female were to listen to their fathers and husbands. They couldn't make any decision just like in the Gender Roles' piece. Women were shown how to run a household so they may be good housewives. Education was not provided for women. The Renaissance are shows to all female how far we have made it. Women weren't even able to act. The men would play the female roles.
