«La Femme au Moyen Âge» is a historical essay by Jean Verdon, in paperback, 125 pages, in French.
Jean Verdon studies medieval women through sources written by clerics, which reflect an ideal rather than reality. He analyzes the role of wives and mothers, monastic life, the political influence of certain ladies, and the presence of humble women in documents, from the barbarian invasions to the great discoveries.

Intended for readers interested in social history and the daily life of women during the Middle Ages.
