Medieval Women in Modern Perspective is designed as a handbook for teachers who wish to cover medieval women in their courses. It discusses issues commonly encountered in the classroom: how historians have conceptualized the field in the past and present; what sorts of differences distinguished medieval women from each other; changes and continuities in women's status during the Middle Ages and beyond; and ideologies of gender in the Middle Ages. It also gives advice on how to use concrete examples and biographies to help students think creatively about such specific issues as women and religion, the veneration of female virginity, misogyny, abortion and birth control, female mysticism, women's work, lesbian sexualities, masculinities, and motherhood. Focusing exclusively on English-language materials, it includes extensive references in the notes (where readers can find guidance on such specific subjects) and in an annotated general bibliography.
