In the 17th century, boarding schools for girls were founded in many towns. Having schools for women was to open up women’s opportunities to have more knowledge and skills. Moreover, women in the 17th century had more roles in economic and political structures. But in fact, women had more roles in society because their families and local communities allowed them to influence the political system. Nevertheless, women were demoralized by expressing the political point of views to their husbands, but still women were able to express their ideas through the veil of personal and religious writings (Bomarito, 2005).
