Abstract
A major issue in the man-woman connection throughout the Medieval Era was the issue of who had the most authority. Every day, women competed with males for the right to be considered superior in terms of love, sexuality, and marriage, among other things. In light of their poor social standing, this was a difficult assignment for them to do. They were financially reliant on their male counterparts, and the majority of them had no formal training at all. Furthermore, the attitudes of the Church contributed significantly to the strengthening of the concept of woman's inadequacy, since even as a natural being, she was ranked secondary to man. Because she was created from Adam's ribs, she was unable to claim supremacy in social standing and was required to submit to man in all affairs. According to religious traditions, woman was considered "Flesh" while man was considered "Reason." When preaching on the "Fall of Man in Chaucer's own Parsons" Story the Parson states unequivocally, Man has fallen because of his own fault.
