Publisher Description: This volume is concerned with the relationship between women and the Church, examining the ways in which women were viewed from a Christian point of view. By the 12th century, the Church had begun to take the role and expectations of women seriously, and the clerical writings discussed in this work address the particular issues that emerged from this development. |
