Medieval maidens : young women and gender in England, 1270-1540
Kim M. PhillipsThe medieval landscape, as viewed through the eyes of
scholars, was hardly populated by women. Particularly, young unmarried women or
"maidens" have been paid little attention. This book aims to fill
that gap by examining the meaning, experiences and voices of young womanhood.
The life-phase of “adolescence” was different for maidens than for young men,
and as such merits study in its own right. At the same time a study of young
womanhood provides insights into ideals of feminine gender roles and identities
at different social levels.
