Description

The Oxford Handbook of Women and Gender in Medieval Europe provides a comprehensive overview of the gender rules encountered in Western Europe between approximately 500 and 1500 C.E. This collection of essays addresses the challenges of uncovering the experiences of ordinary people from archives formed mainly by elite males, while also combining social histories with cultural histories of gendered discourses and identities. The Handbook is structured into seven sections, covering topics such as Christian thought, law, domestic life, labour, bodies, and gender in different religious contexts. It features material from leading scholars in the field, making it a valuable resource for both established researchers and those looking to explore new areas of study. This volume serves not only as a major reference text in medieval and gender studies but also sets an agenda for future research, providing a framework for understanding the complexities of women's experiences during this period.
