Women in Medieval Europe explores the key areas of female
experience in the later medieval period, from peasant women to
Queens. It considers the women of the later Middle Ages in the
context of their social relationships during a time of changing
opportunities and activities, so that by 1500 the world of work was
becoming increasingly restricted to women. The chapters are
arranged thematically to show the varied roles and lives of women
in and out of the home, covering topics such as marriage, religion,
family and work. For the second edition a new chapter draws
together recent work on Jewish and Muslim women, as well as those
from other ethnic groups, showing the wide ranging experiences of
women from different backgrounds. Particular attention is paid to
women at work in the towns, and specifically urban topics such as
trade, crafts, healthcare and prostitution. The latest research on
women, gender and masculinity has also been incorporated, along
with updated further reading recommendations. This fully revised
new edition is a comprehensive yet accessible introduction to the
topic, perfect for all those studying women in Europe in the later
Middle Ages.
