Great primary source of medieval women's history.
3 Nov 1999
Format:Paperback
Hear it from the women themselves. This book explains the multitude of jobs women did in the Middle Ages, inside and outside of the home. Having perceived the Middle Ages as a time of little opportunity, I was surprised at the 'opportunities' some women were afforded.

Entertaining, great sources
15 Jan 2007
Format:Paperback
The author put together a wide variety of primary sources, some commonly featured in other books on the subject and some I have not seen anywhere else. She did a good job picking readings that give a glimpse of the real people and how they lived, rather than the stilted, emotionless things I'm used to in medieval writings.
