«La Femme au temps des cathédrales» is the historical essay by Régine Pernoud (LGF/Le Livre de Poche, paperback, 379 pages, in French).
Historical essay on the role of women in the Middle Ages: their participation in education, medicine and politics. The author shows that they were not always legal minors —in the feudal era they could come of age at twelve— and traces the evolution of their power, with examples such as the first French educational treatise written by a woman.
Originally published in 1980; this French edition from Le Livre de Poche dates from 1982. Number 5690 in the Ldp Litterature series.
Aimed at readers interested in medieval history, feminism and gender studies.
Régine Pernoud was a French historian and archivist. Pernoud was one of the most prolific medievalists in 20th century France; more than any other single scholar of her time, her work advanced and expanded the study of Joan of Arc.
