Society in today's world takes everything for granted. We don't thank anyone for what we have. It's simply part of our daily lives. We are given all the legal rights we have. But we often forget our history and the struggle people went through to achieve what we have today; Women are seen as equal, have the right to vote and to occupy certain career fields in which only men worked. Before democracy became part of our societies, countries were ruled by kings and what the king said became law. Life was based on a hierarchy, and depending on how much money or land you had, you determined how good of a person you were and who you were allowed to affiliate with. The higher you are in the hierarchy, the more you are observed by the community. Everything you did determined how people would see you. Especially during the 16th century, when the Protestant Reformation and the Peasant War dominated, people's opinions changed, transforming the laws and the people themselves. "The Buergermeister's Daughter" is a book written by Steven Ozment about the life of a family who embarked on a path of public service. gossip and year-long court hearings in the early 16th century in Hall, Germany. Anna Bueschler is the daughter of Hermann Bueschler, a powerful councilor and mayor of the city. His family invested in real estate and wine sales, which made him the richest man in town and owned the largest house in the market place (Ozment, 8). Due to his success, his family was seen as a role model, someone to look up to. But Anna often didn't behave as she should based on their family's reputation. Witnesses thought Anna was dressing immodestly and beyond what was appropriate. She liked fine jewelry and loved drawing attention to herself. People remembered a bespoke being... paper-centered... faced in his day. When she took her father to court, there were rules on Anna's part. Since Anna was unmarried and without means, remained dependent on her father and sought support legally, she was not allowed to take her father to court without prior consent of the court and for a child to take their parents to court was very rare and difficult. to obtain consent. Furthermore, according to the law Anna was a single non-professional woman which did not allow her to proceed without an accompanying male lawyer or representative, who is normally the woman's father or closest male relative (Ozment, 111). Due to the changes that were taking place, especially with the Protestant Reformation, Anna faced many problems when she fought her father in court. From Anna's action it did not appear that she agreed with the Protestants and their views on sex and marriage.
