Description: |
The medieval landscape, as traditionally viewed, was hardly populated by women - aside from the occasional queen, mistress, abbess, or mystic. This study aims to fill that gap by examining the experiences and voices of young medieval womanhood. |
Synopsis: |
The first study on medieval women to treat young women or 'maidens' separately and at length. The book makes a contribution to gender studies through its study of medieval girls' acquisition of appropriate roles and identities, and their own attitudes towards these roles. Examines the experiences and voices of young womanhood. Provides insights into ideals of feminine gender roles and identities at different social levels. -- . |
