Ein großes Buch, das viel mittelalterlichen Staub aufwirbelt! Sie kämpften gegen Wikinger, vergifteten ihre Feinde und waren Spioninnen - die vergessenen Frauen des europäischen Mittelalters kümmerten sich beileibe nicht nur um Haus und Hof. Dennoch ist es genau dieses Bild einer patriarchalen Gesellschaft, die Frauen unterdrückte, das unsere Vorstellung vom Mittelalter prägt. Es waren Männer, die diese Geschichte schrieben und die Frauen des Mittelalters aus unserem kollektiven Gedächtnis verbannten.

For centuries, medieval history books have told the stories of noble queens, dutiful housewives, and cloistered nuns—but what about the single women who lived, worked, and thrived in medieval Europe? The Secret Lives of Single Medieval Women reveals the overlooked yet fascinating lives of middle age women who did not fit the conventional mold. From unmarried tradeswomen and widows to vowesses and nuns, these women carved their own paths in a world that often sought to define them by their marital status.

Долгие годы история Средневековья была известна нам преимущественно с точки зрения традиционно мужских сфер деятельности, представляясь чередой сражений за власть и территории. Авторы классических научно-популярных бестселлеров о жизни средневекового мира Фрэнсис и Джозеф Гис по крупицам восстанавливают эту утраченную историю в увлекательном историческом обзоре, прослеживая эволюцию роли женщины в обществе на протяжении целого тысячелетия.

Valkyries: the female supernatural beings that choose who dies and who lives on the battlefield. They protect some, but guide spears, arrows, and sword blades into the bodies of others. Viking myths about valkyries attempt to elevate the banality of war - to make the pain and suffering, the lost limbs and deformities, the piles of lifeless bodies of young men, glorious and worthwhile. Rather than their death being futile, it is their destiny and good fortune, determined by divine beings.

Самая интересная аудиокнига про Средние века от автора бестселлера «Чумазое Средневековье». Мы читали о них в рыцарских романах и сатирических новеллах Боккаччо, видели в фильмах, разглядывали на картинах. Но единого мнения как не было, так и нет. Это и понятно – что может быть общего у благородных прекрасных принцесс, ради которых рыцари совершают подвиги, и грязных крестьянок, безропотно умирающих где-то там, на заднем плане сериала или романа?

Sei storie esemplari di donne del Medioevo e del loro rapporto con la maternità. C’è l’esperienza di Dhuoda (vissuta nel IX secolo), il cui figlio Guglielmo fu consegnato come ostaggio a Carlo il Calvo; c’è – due secoli dopo – la vicenda di Matilde di Canossa, donna potentissima ma delusa nelle sue aspettative di maternità. C’è l’esempio di Caterina da Siena, che pur non avendo figli agisce e scrive da "grande madre" italiana. C’è Christine de Pizan, impegnata nell’ultimo scorcio di Medioevo a destreggiarsi tra i figli e la carriera.

Between the 12th and 15th centuries in Europe, not all women fit the stereotype of passive housewife and mother. Many led bold and dynamic lives. In this collection of historical portraits, Maria Teresa Brolis tells the fascinating tales of fashion icons, art clients, businesswomen, saints, healers, lovers, and pilgrims - both famous and little known - who challenge conventional understandings of the medieval female experience. Drawing on evidence from literary works and archival documents, Brolis pieces together an intricate overview of 16 women's lives.

Parliamo di donne velate e subito pensiamo allo hijab o agli altri tipi di copertura del capo, o del volto, o dell'intero corpo della donna che sono in uso nel mondo islamico e che, non senza originare polemiche, molte islamiche indossano anche nei paesi occidentali. Ma la prescrizione alle donne di coprirsi il capo appartiene in pieno anche alla storia dell'Occidente.

Anche nel Medioevo troviamo donne disposte a vendere il proprio corpo "pro pretio, lucro et questu": condannata e ritenuta una vergogna, la prostituzione era però considerata ineliminabile e persino necessaria. Giustificabile, perché salvava da mali peggiori come la corruzione delle vergini e delle spose e "l'abominevole vizio della sodomia". Ma qual era la posizione della Chiesa e dei pubblici poteri nel regolare questo fenomeno divenuto assai rilevante? Nel Trecento, infatti, si assiste ovunque in Europa al proliferare dei postriboli, a volte quasi piccole fortezze del piacere.

Nel Medioevo le donne vivevano in una rigida sottomissione. Non assecondare la volontà della famiglia, non ubbidire agli uomini, padri, mariti o padroni, manifestare indipendenza di giudizio o di comportamento facevano di loro delle ribelli. Ma non sono mancate sante, regine, badesse, semplici monache, umili contadine, serve, schiave, eretiche, streghe, prostitute che hanno scelto di sottrarsi a destini segnati, resistendo, opponendosi, fuggendo. Donne decise a viaggiare, conoscere, insegnare, lavorare, combattere, predicare.

Virginal, chaste, humble, patiently waiting for rescue by brave knights and handsome princes: this idealized—and largely mythical—notion of the medieval noblewoman still lingers. Yet the reality was very different, as Kelcey Wilson-Lee shows in this vibrant account of the five daughters of Edward I, often known as Longshanks. The lives of these sisters—Eleanora, Joanna, Margaret, Mary, and Elizabeth—ran the gamut of experiences open to royal women in the Middle Ages.
