Most Wise & Valiant Ladies

Most Wise & Valiant Ladies presents in a concise, accessible manner the lives of six outstanding medieval women: Joan of Arc, visionary and warrior; Eleanor of Aquitaine, queen, crusader, and patron of the arts; Margery Kempe, religious fanatic and pilgrim; Hildegard of Bingen, legendary abbess, scientist, and composer; Christine de Pisan, champion of women and perhaps the first "feminist" writer; and Margaret Paston, extraordinary wife and mother.Beautifully complemented by contemporary illustrations and manuscripts, Most Wise & Valiant Ladies provides fascinating insight into the world of women in Medieval Europe.
