The 1600s were a time marked by the Scientific Revolution. During this time, women were treated as inferior being who were meant to tend to the house and tend to children. During this time, a centuries-long debate known as the Querreles des Femmes was occurring in which men argued that women were not capable of higher thinking because their skulls were smaller. They also said that because women's hips were wider, they were naturally meant to be mothers and not to be involved in scientific affairs. Overall, women were treated with little dignity and as intellectually inferior to their male counterparts. They were also not allowed to go to the theater and or act on the stage.

Poor women's hobbies probably included raising children, cooking, cleaning, & trying to survive!

Perhaps they made a corn-husk figure or two for their kids but really, do you think they had time to have a hobby?
