Though women's contributions were often diminished or completely ignored in written accounts, art tells a different story: women appear everywhere, from the margins of illuminated manuscripts to grand tapestries. In this book, historian Gemma Hollman uses the visual as well as the written record to uncover the real lives of medieval European women. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Hollman traces the lives of women across society, dedicating chapters to nuns like Hildegard of Bingen, abbess, mystic, and polymath; courtiers like Christine de Pisan, author of pioneering works on women's role in society; warriors like Joan of Arc; and the everyday women whose names are lost to history. Illustrated with nearly 200 varied and fascinating works of medieval art, \u003cem\u003eWomen in the Middle Ages\u003c\/em\u003e offers a new perspective on the lives of medieval women and how they were portrayed.
