Summary:
"[...] explores the status of
women
in
medieval
England
, both before and after the Norman Conquest. The author starts by contrasting the differences in status between Anglo/Danish or Saxon
women
with those who fell under the burden of the feudal system imposed by the Normans. She covers such subjects as marriage and childbirth, the rights and responsibilities of wives, separation and divorce, safety and security and the challenges of widowhood. She also examines such issues as virginity and chastity and the pressures placed on
women
by religious groups. At a time when
women
's rights were often disregarded, the author charts their struggles against the expectations of their menfolk and highlights the difficulties of everyday life within the context of legal and religious restrictions.The author describes the lives of
women
at all levels of society, both royal and noble as well as ordinary people, to paint a picture of their daily lives against the changing background of the times they lived in."--Publisher description.
