Focusing on medieval women with a wide range of occupations and
life-styles, the interdisciplinary essays in this collection
examine women's activities within the patriarchal structures of the
time. Individual essays explore women's challenges to a sexual
ideology that confined them strictly to the roles of wives,
mothers, and servants. Also included are sections on women and
work, cultural production and literacy, and religious life.
These essays provide a greater understanding of the ways in which
gender has played a part in determining relations of power in
Western cultures. This volume makes a vital contribution to the
current scholarship about women in the Middle Ages.
