From the Publisher
A New History of the Middle Ages, Through the Women Written Out of It
The middle ages are seen as a bloodthirsty time of Vikings, saints and kings: a patriarchal society that oppressed and excluded women. But what if that was not the whole picture?
Dig deeper into history and you will find many influential women who have been erased from our collective past – their names struck out of historical records with one word annotated beside them – FEMINA.
This groundbreaking reappraisal of medieval feminity reveals how women have been written out of history, and more importantly, why that matters for us today.
