Step into the Middle Ages for half-an-hour and meet some of the amazing women who helped to shape Medieval times.This is a short book that is intended to give you a sense of history of medieval times, with the focus on some of the remarkable women who lived during that period.
We feature the patron saints of cats, of countries, and of computer screens; a buccaneer who became the scourge of the seas; writers who were pioneers of feminist thought; queens consort who were instrumental in shaping the course of history; and a great warrior whose story has resounded down through the centuries.
It covers a wide range among the 30 women who are featured, including queens, writers, mystics, saints, a pirate, a warrior, and a troubadour. There are famous women here and lesser known women but perhaps just as important in their different ways.
It includes a section covering the key aspects of the Medieval Age to set the historical background, plus some details about how women were generally regarded at that time.
