"Most people have heard of Lady Godiva and her horseback tax protest in the 11th century and Joan of Arc, the French peasant who in the 15th century fought against the English. Many know of Eleanor of Aquataine, 12th century Queen of France and England. Some know of Hildegarde and Beatrice and Blanche and Clare. These are only a few of the women of the Middle Ages whose lives and leadership brought important changes to history.".
"This is a reference to the culture, history and circumstances of women in the Middle Ages, from the years 500 to 1500 C.E. It not only profiles individual queens, empresses, and other women in positions of leadership but also provides information about topics such as work, marriage and family, households, employment, religion, and various other aspects of women's lives in the Middle Ages. Genealogies of queens and empresses accompany the text."--BOOK JACKET.

Work Description
In recent decades, women have received more and more attention for their contributions to societies and cultures all over the globe. In past centuries, though, women have not had the freedoms that they enjoy now. This work takes readers back to the Middle Ages, when women had extremely limited privileges and rights, and presents a tremendous amount of information on women and their lives during the time. Entries provide details on the culture, history, and circumstances of women in the Middle Ages, as well as biographical sketches of medieval women whose names have survived time and history. Also included is an introduction, which provides a general overview of what life was like, what people wore and ate, and how families were formed and cared for. Genealogies of important women are also provided.
