Medieval women

"Throughout her career as a medieval historian, Eileen Power was engaged on a book on women in the Middle Ages. She did not live to write the book but some of the material she collected found its way into popular lectures on medieval women. These lectures are now brought together and reveal the world in which women lived, were educated, worked, and worshipped. For this edition, an essay on Eileen Power, by Maxine Berg, is also included, offering an intimate portrait of the writer and social historian."
