Summary:

This Collection of Ten Interdisciplinary Essays Provides Detailed, Small-Scale studies of a variety of medieval female communities from Germany to Wales between 1200 and 1500. The essays examine a range of social, economic, and cultural female groups, both religious and secular. The contributors consider women's historical experience to be distinct from that of men, but do not restrict themselves to a single theoretical perspective or methodological approach.
