If I was the seventh daughter of a medieval peasant family, my fate is to spend my entire life in a nunnery.

Step-by-step explanation:

A peasant is a poor farmer with low financial status; he generally owns or rents a small piece of land for cultivation. Peasants pay their earnings as tax to the church called tithe and they were also compelled to work for free on the church land.

The peasant children did not go to school, so only few of the children knew how to read. Being from a poor family the peasant kids don’t even have good foods to consume, so they were packed off to spend their life in the nunnery.
