AB Margery Kempe and Luisa de Carvajal y Mendoza lived in a society in which the man was the dominant character who was the responsible for the labour market, held the authority, and controlled the finances; while the woman was restricted to the household and to the childcare. With deep religious beliefs, Margery Kempe in the Middle Ages, and Luisa de Carvajal y Mendoza in the Early Modern period, tried to get their goals moving away from the stereotypes and habits that their epochs established for women’s role. They were criticised by a society which did not accept what they did, accusing Margery Kempe of heresy, and blaming Luisa de Carvajal y Mendoza for endangering the peace between states. Both women fought throughout their lives in order to improve a situation which lasted until the eighteenth century, when women started advocating their rights and ability to deal with any public or private matter.
