Summary/Abstract: The research of the everyday life of the medieval people represents still a very generous studying field. Thus our intention was that of underlining, once more, the generosity of this historical subject. But we analyzed it form a gender perspective. In this sense, we studied the medieval recordings referring to women’s everyday life and the challenges they had to face> political conflicts; military conflicts etc. all these events influenced their lives and destinies. We proved the fact that in what these challenges were concerned, men and women faced an equal destiny. There is no longer a gender differentiation at this level. The analysis also revealed the complexity of the medieval people’s lives.
