I am looking for a simple explanation of the roles of women and men in Elizabethan society, and cannot seem to find a simply stated version I am not sure if it even exists? I do not know where to look as all my research has left me with information that is much more complex than I am looking for. All I want is the generally known social expectations that were common of the middle/upper class in Elizabethan England. This is for an essay on a Shakespearean play and the differences in the social gender roles. I think most of it is common knowledge but I am not sure if I need concrete information from a reliable source to satisfy my teacher.
