Margret L. King's article made arguments about how the men during the Renaissance thought women should not rule and many women did not rule with complete power. Men during the Renaissance spoke of how terrible a female ruler would be and how it was an act against nature. Few women did rule though and guided reform like Isabella daughter of Catherine of Aragon. Women began to try to make a change and bring women more power. Many women in power dismissed the idea of sexes and did not let their gender hold them back from power.
Joan Kelly-Godal's article describes the lady of the court as demure and almost as an object for the courtier. The woman is described mostly as being used for the mans image and his needs. She was only there for him and did not mean much and did not have power to anything. Her job was to charm and stay pretty for her husband.
These articles differ very much. The first article describes women as trying to gain power and trying to change rules and people's views. The second article is describing the lady of the court as demure and merely there for the mans sake. Both articles point out men's constraints on women during the Renaissance and how not everyone agreed with women gaining more power.
