Women in Early Medieval Europe is not just a history of women, but a history of the early European Middle Ages through the eyes of women. Most books about medieval women focus on such gendered topics as family and marriage, women's work, queenship, or women's status. This book combines the rich literature of women's history with original research in the context of mainstream history and traditional chronology.
