This seminar will encourage students to study all aspects
of the lives of women in the medieval world (500-1500).
We shall compare the intellectuals' ideas about women to
the social, economic and intellectual evidence of women's
lives. Special attention will be paid to the following:
Women in religious life; the difference that
socio-economic groupings made to a woman's freedom of
action; the concept of the patriarchal household; and the
varied role of women in economic life.

medieval studies or women's studies courses that would allow
