Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the options listed had economic changes during this period. Women's economic power was drastically reduced as men became the dominant force in the workforce. Economic stratification increased in the countryside as wealthy landowners became even richer while poor farmers struggled to make ends meet. The ranks of landless peasants and serfs increased as more people were forced to work for others rather than own their own land. Many of these peasants and serfs were then forced to move to the cities to find work, resulting in overcrowding and poor living conditions.
