| Abstract | Writing the history of women's participation in the making of art and architecture in the Middle Ages is still very much a work in progress. The papers in this session contribute to this ongoing historiographical project, analyzing a series of specific case studies of women's participation in art-making within and between medieval Jewish, Islamic, and Christian societies. The proposed session is one of a coordinated pair of sessions, the other of which will take place in Kalamazoo in 2012, organized by the European Research Council-funded project, 'Reassessing the Roles of Women as 'Makers' of Medieval Art and Architecture.' |
