La femme a-t-elle toujours été cette perpétuelle mineure qu'elle fut au XIXe siècle ? A-t-elle toujours été écartée de la vie politique comme elle le fut dans la France de Louis XIV ? Régine Pernoud avec son expérience de médiéviste et d'archiviste, s'est attachée depuis longtemps à l'étude de ces questions. Dans La Femme au temps des cathédrales, elle nous apprend, entre autres : que le plus ancien traité d'éducation est dû en France à une femme, que la médecine était exercée couramment par des femmes au XIIIe siècles, qu'aux temps féodaux, les filles étaient majeures à douze ans, deux ans avant les garçons. Beaucoup d'autres traits de société sont ainsi à découvrir dans cette étude, très approfondie, mais alerte et d'une lecture captivante, menée à travers une multitude d'exemples concrets qui ne laissent échapper aucun aspect des activités féministes au cours de la période féodale et médiévale.

Régine Pernoud a écrit La Femme au temps des Cathédrales comme une protestation contre le sort fait aux femmes depuis des siècles. En fine médiéviste, elle a su repérer dans l'histoire les personnages de premier plan : reines, saintes, savantes, qui illuminèrent leur époque. Avant Jeanne d'Arc et Catherine de Sienne, des personnalités comme Aliénor d'Aquitaine, Héloïse, Dhuoda, Bathilde ou encore Clotilde ont laissé leur empreinte dans la légende des siècles. Ce livre pionnier a rouvert leurs dossiers et provoqué les historiens. A travers une multitude d'exemples, Régine Pernoud raconte aussi le quotidien des femmes de toutes conditions au Moyen Age : les métiers, le commerce, les arts, la politique, la vie amoureuse et conjugale. Elle rend hommage à celles qui inspirèrent nombre de romans de chevalerie et d'amour. La présente édition, mise à jour et enrichie d'une iconographie somptueuse, fait revivre ces figures émouvantes qui ont su, en leur temps et parfois avec audace, accéder à une féminité accomplie.

Occitania, known today as the "south of France," had its own language and culture in the Middle Ages. Its troubadours created "courtly love" and a new poetic language in the vernacular, which were to influence European literature for centuries. There are many books on the troubadours, but this is the first comprehensive study of the society in which they lived. For readers of literature it offers a wide-ranging insight into the realities that lay behind the poetic mystique. For historians it opens up an important and neglected area of medieval Europe.

This book addresses many questions about the status of women in the Middle Ages and presents surprising answers. Readers learn that the most ancient treatise on education in France was written by a woman; and medicine was practiced regularly by women in the thirteenth century; that in the twelfth century the Order of Fontevraud gathered both monks and religious sisters under the authority of an abbess. This is a systematic study that provides a multitude of concrete examples. No aspect of feminine activity in the medieval period is neglected: administration of property, professions and commerce, intellectual life, politics, writers, educators, sovereigns, and those who enlivened the royal courts. Moreover, the author draws from the history of law and the history of events and social customs to sketch an outline of the evolution of the societal influence of women, from the freedoms and autonomy they acquired, to the decline of their public influence. This study sheds much light on the feudal and medieval periods which have so often, and mistakenly, been called a ‘dark’ age for women.

Featuring three original and 14 classic essays, this volume examines literary representations of women in Arthuriana and how women artists have viewed them. The essays discuss the female characters in Arthurian legend, medieval and modern readers of the legend, modern critics and the modern women writers who have recast the Arthurian inheritance, and finally women visual artists who have used the material of the Arthurian story. All the essays concentrate interpretation on a female creator and the work. This collection contains a useful bibliography of material devoted to female characters in Arthurian literature.

Long overlooked in standard reference works, pioneering women medievalists finally receive their due in Women Medievalists and the Academy. This comprehensive edited volume brings to life a diverse collection of inspiring figures through memoirs, biographical essays, and interviews. Covering many different nationalities and academic disciplines—including literature, philology, history, archaeology, art history, theology or religious studies, and philosophy—each essay delves into one woman’s life, intellectual contributions, and efforts to succeed in a male-dominated field. Together, these extraordinary personal histories constitute a new standard reference that speaks to a growing interest in women’s roles in the development of scholarship and the academy. The collection begins in the eighteenth century with Elizabeth Elstob and continues to the present, and includes—among more than seventy profiles—such important figures as Anna Jameson, Lina Eckenstein, Georgiana Goddard King, Eileen Power, Dorothy L. Sayers, Dorothy Whitelock, Susan Mosher Stuard, Marcia Colish, and Caroline Walker Bynum, among others.
