FrenchReviews"""This collection of thirteen essays by North American scholars provides a series of micro-biographies of individual medieval women's 'lived experience,' ones that aim to recover some of the nuance and emotion of women's relationships and their political connections. In their introduction, editors Charlotte Newman Goldy and Amy Livingstone offer a cogent overview of the historiography about medieval women, detailing how these essays both draw on established historiographical approaches and chart new avenues for writing the stories of women about whom only fragmentary records survive. Divided into two sections, Rereading Sources and Seeking the Undocumented, this collection features work by well-established second- or beginning-stage third-generation scholars of women's history."" - The Medieval Review" This collection of thirteen essays by North American scholars provides a series of micro-biographies of individual medieval women's 'lived experience,' ones that aim to recover some of the nuance and emotion of women's relationships and their political connections.

Using textiles, itineraries, charters, chronicles, parish records, letters, images, and more these engaging essays not only bring to life a variety of medieval women, but suggest new avenues for answering old questions about the realities of women's lives in the past. They are worthy successors to classic works of feminist scholarship such as Becoming Visible and Women and Power in the Middle Ages, and will collectively and individually shape future approaches to medieval women's history.' - Miriam Shadis, Ohio University 'No other collection ranges so widely-six countries plus the Carolingians-or scales the ladder from peasants to townsfolk to noble and royal women. Women's voices and women's lives are now the most interesting and challenging entre into the European Middle Ages. This collection has something for every taste, every interest, every line of research.' - Joel Rosenthal, Stony Brook University Author InformationEmilie Amt is the Hildegarde Pilgram Professor of History at Hood College.
