Summary: | This new work fills a gap in writing on medieval women. Consisting of essays that examine the notion of youth as a stage in women's lives in medieval Europe, topics include: prostitution in England; Joan of Arc; female wardship; virgin martyrs; and maidenhood as the image of the "perfect" age of a woman's life. Delving into women's studies as well as medieval and social history, this well-focused volume is currently at the forefront of medieval studies. |
