Publisher's Description of Women and Girls in the Middle Ages
Despite the Church's views of medieval women as weak, untrustworthy, and not very smart, some women became great achievers and powerful rulers. Women and Girls in the Middle Ages outlines the similarities and differences between the lives of noblewomen, townswomen, and peasants with special emphasis on:
• marriage, childbirth, and raising a family
• education, joining a nunnery, and learning a trade
• medieval style and beauty
• the lives of women from around the world in the same time period
• marriage, childbirth, and raising a family

Category Description for Medieval World Series
The Medieval times or Middle Ages seem to hold great fascination for most people. It seems like such a different lifestyle from the one that we are used to and take for granted. Just the idea of kings, knights, tournaments, lords and ladies, great feasts, and more seems more like movies than real life! Children will love these books that let them immerse themselves in the Medieval Times and learn about daily life, what homes were like, how society worked, what was involved in being a knight or a noble, and much more. These books are packed full of fascinating and useful information, excellent illustrations, artwork, maps, timelines, and even information about what was going on in other cultures during these time periods. ~ Megan

Why did you choose this?
Which famous women are included?
Most of the book is on general descriptions - noblewomen, women in towns, peasant women, having fun, getting married, housekeeping, raising a family, etc. There is one chapter that includes short biographies of several medieval women of various cultures - Khadija, Murasaki Shikibu, Anna Comnena, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Christine de Pizan,and Joan of Arc.
Having 8 daughters, I thought they might like a book specifically about women and girls in the middle ages.
Most of the literature we will be reading for our study of the middle ages is about boys - so I'm looking to add information and interest about how women lived in those times.
