'Woman who is equal to the moon in the flower of youth
Is equal to a little old ape after the onset of old age'

This remarkable collection brings together a host of writings from across different regions and cultures of the Middle Ages from the ninth to the fifteenth century. They are arranged to follow the life stages of a Medieval woman living a secular existence from infancy and girlhood through marriage and motherhood to widowhood and old age. Some women are famous or captured in exceptional circumstances many more are anonymous: an abandoned baby in Italy or an epitaph for the female leader of a Synagogue speaking across the ages.

This selection contains an introduction discussing the Medieval woman's status separate introductions to each chapter notes and a bibliography.
