Opis

Fictive Orders and Feminine Religious Identities traces the story of pious laywomen in Europe from the thirteenth to sixteenth centuries, examining the ways these women were active and engaged in their social and intellectual worlds, while also tracing the formation of modern perceptions about gender roles and the reasons why they persisted.

Recenzje

[Fictive Orders] will be useful to scholars interested in medieval religious women, gendered identities and historiography. The study is well supplied with the most updated literature in the field which makes it an excellent bibliographical resource for the non-specialist interested in the history of medieval lay women and religion.
