	In the 16th century Japanese women could move freely without an escort, unlike women in numerous other countries. Women also knew how to read and write, but it was a much less common skill for women who came from a modest background. In fact, some women even left their homes in broad daylight to conduct business. Furthermore, all women worked, even those of the higher class. For example, the ladies of the ~~sogun~~'s court, or other great lords, supervised service inside the residences, and were often responsible for drafting official documents concerning the family's property.

Conversely, women were highly sacred in Buddhism, as they could give birth to a child.		Yet, in some cases women were perceived as "impure" because they were suspected of defiling blood.
