FINE CLEAN HARDCOVER MISSING DUST JACKET. BARNES &amp; NOBLE, 1999. Six medieval women by Andrea Hopkins Although the Middle Ages is thought to have been a repressive era, medieval women actually enjoyed more freedom and opportunities than in any subsequent century except our own. In this book, scholar Andrea Hopkins sheds light on the wide diversity of experience open to medieval women through the stories of six remarkable lives: Hildegard of Bingen -- legendary abbess, scientist, composer, and mystic: Eleanor of Aquitaine -- queen, crusader, and patron of the arts; Margaret Paston -- quintessential medieval wife and mother; Christine de Pisan -- influential writer on the role of women; Joan of Arc -- visionary and warrior; and Margery Kempe -- religious convert and pilgrim. Hopkins uses the words of each woman to bring their stories to life. Color and black-and-white illustrations. 160 pp. Hardcover.

Is the glorified reputation of the chivalrous, loyal, virtuous and larger-than-life Knight actually true, or were they ambitious, power-hungry opportunists? Hopkins compares the fictional aspects of the Knight as read and heard throughout literature, to the actual lives of real-life Knights. Lavishly illustrated, this informative and highly readable study includes over 125 color photos and reproductions.
