Omslag till Jennifer C. Ward: English Noblewomen in the Later Middle Ages (PDF)

This vivid and pioneering study illuminates the different roles played in late medieval society by noblewomen – the most substantial group of women to survive as individuals in medieval documents. They emerge (despite limited political opportunities) as figures of consequence themselves in a landowning society through estate management in their husbands’ frequent absences, and through hospitality, patronage and affinity.
