The family lives of medieval women
Hanley, Catherine, 1972-2026
Book
Women in the Middle Ages led fascinating and often wildly differing everyday lives, depending on their social class and family situation. However, to date this rich variety of experience has not been fully brought to light, because books on the general subject of 'life in the Middle Ages' tend to have multiple chapters devoted to men of different classes (kings, lords, knights, merchants, tradesmen, monks, and so on) and then one chapter at the end entitled 'women', as though the female half of the population was some kind of homogenous mass! But women's experiences varied just as much as men's did, and in this book we will turn the spotlight on them, in lively and interesting detail, as we meet women of all social classes and learn about their lives.
