Download or read book Medieval Maidens written by Kim M. Philips and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2003-06-28 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The medieval landscape, as viewed through the eyes of scholars, was hardly populated by women. Particularly, young unmarried women or "maidens" have been paid little attention. This book aims to fill that gap by examining the meaning, experiences and voices of young womanhood. The life-phase of “adolescence” was different for maidens than for young men, and as such merits study in its own right. At the same time a study of young womanhood provides insights into ideals of feminine gender roles and identities at different social levels.
