Medieval and Early Modern Women

Snapshots and tidbits from the lives of interesting and powerful women from the Medieval and Early Modern periods. I am a passionate enthusiast, not an expert. As the incomparable podcaster, David Crowther, would say, 'I'm just a man in a shed'. Please note: I am not a man, nor do I have a shed.

A poor quality image but I still love this one of women sewing a corpse into a shroud from a 15th century book of hours. Preparing and shrouding the corpse was traditionally the role of women in Western culture until the late 19th/early 20th century.
