HEROINES OF THE MEDIEVAL WORLD

Today, it is easy to think that all women from the medieval era were downtrodden and obedient housewives, whose sole purpose was to give birth to children (preferably boys) and serve their husbands. This book looks at the lives of the women who broke the mould: those who defied social norms and made their own future, consequently changing lives, society and even the course of history. They should all be remembered for daring to defy and lead in a world that demanded they obey and follow.
