As an Historian, I found Ms. Power's book to be enlightening. She has managed to capture the true day-to-day existence of women in this time period, without falling into the mire of Courtly Love. Her use of records is inovative as are the truths she draws from the records. All in all one of the better books written on the subject.
nicely done

I found this book to be very nicely done. As my hobby is historical re-creation, I have found that many books about medieval women are very textbookish in style, and frequently BORING!!! Medieval Women is written in a very easy to read, conversational style. This book had short, simple chapters with rich documentation of everything that the author said. This book also has some great illustrations from the period which enrich the text and make this short piece quite a page-turner.
