Striking for its rangeof scholarship, this collection explores the power and independence, relationshipsand influence of medieval queens, holy women, mothers, widows, Jewishconversas, and others. Latin and AngloNorman hagiography, confessors'manuals, coronation rituals, responsa literature, and legal theoryare represented.'An intriguing explorationof a basic paradox of medieval society, and an excellent blend of theoryand gender studies with detailed work relevant for social and politicalhistory.' Joel Rosenthal, author of Patriarchy and Familiesof Privilege in FifteenthCentury EnglandJENNIFER CARPENTERis a lecturer in history at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand.
