This book illuminates the connections and interaction among women
and between women and men during the medieval period. To do this,
Kathryn L. Reyerson focuses specifically on the experiences of
Agnes de Bossones, widow of a changer of the mercantile elite of
Montpellier. Agnes was a real estate mogul and a patron of
philanthropic institutions that permitted lower strata women to
survive and thrive in a mature urban economy of the period before
1350. Notably, Montpellier was a large urban center in southern
France. Linkages stretched horizontally and vertically in this
robust urban environment, mitigating the restrictions of patriarchy
and the constraints of gender. Using the story of Agnes de Bossones
as a vehicle to larger discussions about gender, this book
highlights the undeniable impact that networks had on women's
mobility and navigation within a restrictive medieval society.
