The women of the Middle Ages finally reclaim their voice in this revealing work. Oxford historian Janina Ramirez challenges the traditional view of a dark, patriarchal Middle Ages, demonstrating through a meticulous examination of records, objects, and writings that women of that time had a profound and multifaceted impact on history. Through a vibrant journey across Europe, the book rescues influential figures such as Jadwiga, the only woman to rule as 'king', Hildegard of Bingen, and the Viking warrior of Birka. This work offers an original and exciting look at an era that, far from being solely male, was shaped by women whose presence was systematically ignored by official history.
