Front Cover
Barnes & Noble, 1980 - History - 264 pages
Women in the middle ages corrects the omissions of traditional history by focusing on the lives, expectations, and accomplishments of medieval women. The Gieses' lively text, illuminated by illustrations from medieval manuscripts, art, and architecture, depects the Middle Ages as a vibrant time in which women were powerful agents of change.
