Women in the Middle Ages
SPAN 875-010: Women in the Middle Ages (Credits: 3)
Cristina Guardiola
What was life like in the middle ages for the medieval woman? How has life changed? A discussion and analysis of many of the seminal works of the Castilian middle ages informs us of the laws and customs particular to the Castilian Middle Ages, and delves into the position of women within the context of the court, the town, the convent, the brothel, and the outskirts of society.
