Abstract: Medieval period is mainly enclosed with a great time of tension and pressure which has been the most influential point that stood on the back stages of the different authors. One of the main matters of that period was the role of the women which has also been highlighted in the prominent works of medieval writers. In the middle ages, women did not possess the rights like in modern world. Most of the women were submissive and obedient, and they were domineered by the opposite gender. Men had dominance over the women of medieval period. Certainly, there were some exceptions that protested this system and claimed that feminist groups had to be dominant in that society. That is also an indicator that even in middle ages, women could disobey the rules. On the other side, although women were obedient and biddable, any severity and tyranny were not acceptable, and the behavior of those kinds led to a serious punishment.
Geoffrey Chaucer with his poetic style tried to demonstrate the dreams and hopes of women also their desire related with women’s role and position in society. Almost in every narration in “The Canterbury Tales” the figure of a woman has been presented. Men’s attitude toward the women also was among the problems of the narrations.
Key words: female pilgrims, women’s right, gender problem
