The Once And Future Sex by Eleanor Janega
Going Medieval on Women's Roles in War, Sex, and Society
A lively, myth-busting exploration of medieval attitudes toward sex, gender and women’s roles that argues the Middle Ages were far more complex and varied than modern stereotypes suggest; it draws on legal records, saints’ lives, medical texts, courtly culture and political history to show women’s agency, shifting norms and how contemporary debates about gender often misread or repurpose the past.
