Abstract | This session examines the ways in which feminist historical scholarship has changed the way that medieval women are viewed. It also aims to demonstrate how feminist scholarship has served to uncover the lives of women who would otherwise have remained invisible. Session I examines women's health and work in the public arena. Session II examines communities of women within the city on the Continent, how these women affected the city in which they lived, and how the city affected them. |
