Publisher Comments:

Throughout her career as a medieval historian, Eileen Power was engaged on a book about women in the Middle Ages, but did not live to write the book. The material she researched and collected, compiled and edited here by M.M. Postan, reveals the fascinating worlds in which noble ladies, peasants, townswomen, and nuns lived, were educated, worked, and worshipped during the Middle Ages. 43 photos.
