Thomas More appears more concerned about humans than gender but still treats them specially in some ways, mainly protecting them or making life easier for them (if they’re pregnant). While, this protecting of women from the harsher trades and parts of life may seem condescending to a modern feminist, it would still prove a much more happier life than what they were enjoying in the 16th century and he makes some attempts at equality as aforementioned in the essay. So, basically I believe the two books accurately reflect in their individual ways what the role of a woman was in the 15 or 16th centuries and contained daring (for their time) ideas as to their treatment in the following centuries.
