When one thinks of women in the Middle Ages, the images that often
come to mind are those of damsels in distress, mystics in convents,
female labourers in the field, and even women of ill repute. In
reality, however, medieval conceptions of womanhood were
multifaceted, and women's roles were varied and nuanced. Female
stereotypes existed in the medieval world, but so too did women of
power and influence. The pages of illuminated manuscripts reveal to
us the many facets of medieval womanhood and slices of medieval
life-from preoccupations with biblical heroines and saints to
courtship, childbirth, and motherhood. While men dominated artistic
production, this volume demonstrates the ways in which female
artists, authors, and patrons were instrumental in the creation of
illuminated manuscripts.
