This book examines the view of women held by medieval common
lawyers and legislators, and considers medieval women's treatment
by and participation in the processes of the common law. Surveying
a wide range of points of contact between women and the common law,
from their appearance (or not) in statutes, through their
participation (or not) as witnesses, to their treatment as
complainants or defendants, it argues for closer consideration of
women within the standard narratives of classical legal history,
and for re-examination of some previous conclusions on the
relationship between women and the common law. It will appeal to
scholars and students of medieval history, as well as those
interested in legal history, gender studies and the history of
women.
