Abstract

From women's medicine and the writings of Christine de Pizan to the lives of market and tradeswomen and the idealization of virginity, gender and social status dictated all aspects of women's lives during the middle ages. A cross-disciplinary resource, 'Women' 'and Gender in Medieval Europe' examines the daily reality of medieval women from all walks of life in Europe between 450 CE and 1500 CE, i.e., from the fall of the Roman Empire to the discovery of the Americas.

Masculinity in the middle ages is also addressed to provide important context for understanding women's roles. Entries that range from 250 words to 4,500 words in length thoroughly explore topics in the following areas: Art and Architecture Countries, Realms, and Regions Daily Life Documentary Sources Economics Education and Learning Gender and Sexuality Historiography Law Literature Medicine and Science Music and Dance Persons Philosophy Politics Political Figures Religion and Theology Religious Figures Social Organization and Status Written by renowned international scholars, 'Women and Gender in Medieval Europe 'is the latest in the Routledge Encyclopedias of the Middle Ages.

Abstract

As one of the first books to treat portraits of early modern women as a discrete subject, this volume considers the possibilities and limits of agency and identity for women in history and, with particular attention to gender, as categories of analysis for women's images. Its nine original essays on Italy, the Low Countries, Germany, France, and England deepen the usefulness of these analytical tools for portraiture. Among the book's broad contributions: it dispels false assumptions about agency's possibilities and limits, showing how agency can be located outside of conventional understanding, and, conversely, how it can be stretched too far. It demonstrates that agency is compatible with relational gender analysis, especially when alternative agencies such as spectatorship are taken into account. It also makes evident the importance of aesthetics for the study of identity and agency. The individual essays reveal, among other things, how portraits broadened the traditional parameters of portraiture, explored transvestism and same-sex eroticism, appropriated aspects of male portraiture to claim those values for their sitters, and, as sites for gender negotiation, resistance, and debate, invoked considerable relational anxiety. Richly layered in method, the book offers an array of provocative insights into its subject.

Abstract

Deze (deels Engelstalige) bundel verschijnt naar aanleiding van de herdenking van de in 1898 in Nederland gehouden Nationale Tentoonstelling van Vrouwenarbeid. De titel 'Een vaderland voor vrouwen' verwijst naar de vraagstelling die als een rode draad door de artikelen loopt: op welke manier hebben vrouwen aan het einde van de negentiende eeuw hun houding bepaals ten opzichte van het vaderland en de politieke macht? Welke retorische strategieën en stijlmiddelen zetten zij in, en wat waren de consequenties voor de politieke machtsverhoudingen tussen de seksen? Aan de hand van vier thema's wordt het belang van de Tentoonstelling voor de geschiedenis van de Nederlandse vrouwenbeweging aangegeven. In het eerste deel wordt aangetoond hoe belangrijk de contacten tussen vrouwen uit verschillende landen waren bij de opzet van vrouwententoonstellingen. De artikelen in de andere drie delen behandelen thema's die op de Tentoonstelling veel aandacht kregen: sociale zorg en arbeid; de koloniale verhoudingen; middelbaar en hoger onderwijs.
