I'm looking specifically at English townswomen in the thirteenth-fourteenth century. This is a gap in the research I never expected to find, but unfortunately it's also the exact area I need, and there's not a lot of information about it.

I know that medieval society was divided into "those who work," "those who fight," and "those who pray." Women would have all fallen into the "those who work" category, excepting nuns, who were "those who pray." Peasant women of the villein/serf class would have spent their days working in the fields alongside their husband, as well as keeping house and caring for the children. Wives of the nobility would also have been keeping house, overseeing the servants and the accounts. Wives of merchants would have been busy helping their husbands run the business. But what did wives of craftsmen do all day, if they lived in town and didn't have a large household to keep? If a woman was married to a carpenter, or a blacksmith, or a weaver - those who had been apprenticed and trained in their jobs and thus had skills their wives didn't share - what did they occupy their time with? What responsibilities did they have?
