Give methe food. Now he's too weak. Can't hardly move" (Steinbeck, 306). But Rose of Sharon, who has recently endured her own stillborn child, sacrifices her own dignity for the sake of this man. At the wordless behest of her mother, Rose of Sharon feeds breast milk to the starving man, thereby prolonging his life (Steinbeck). Although women are no longer relegated to the household lives they were once essentially forced to live, the role of women in society continues to include some of the same duties it always has. Women are still mothers; in many cases they are still the keepers of the home; they still support the men who are closest to them. Literature contains many clear examples of the ways in which women provide a great contribution to societal progress.

Women: Luther and the Medieval Roman Catholic Church The medieval view of women and the woman's role was essentially informed by a centuries-long, Christian informed tradition, upheld by patriarchal society.
