In this book, we'll journey back to the Middle Ages via the lives of Marie de France, Julian of Norwich, Christine de Pizan, and Margery Kempe, four very different women who defied the expectations of their time.
The struggles women encounter today are surprisingly analogous to the challenges that medieval women faced - and overcame, illuminating a continuous thread in women's history.
This is not a simple group biography, but rather an examination, in a series of thematic chapters, of topics such as experiences of childbirth, being a widow, and the pressures of society.
The current exhibition on Medieval Women at the British Library highlights the growing interest in this fascinating topic, emphasizing the importance of understanding the contributions of medieval women.
