It has long been said that a woman's hair is her crowning glory.
Indeed, throughout history, hair has remained an important cultural
symbol of femininity. In medieval art, iconic images of long,
flowing locks can signify both sexuality and virtue, and the
cutting of a woman's hair often implies her masculinization.
Artists of all kinds in the middle ages used women's long hair to
manipulate their audience's estimation of their female figures.
This interdisciplinary work explores the significance of women's
hair in literature and art from the medieval period through 1525,
putting into historical context the ways in which hair participates
in construction of the female identity.
