Women medievalists and the academy
"This comprehensive edited volume brings to life a diverse collection of inspiring figures through memoirs, biographical essays, and interviews. Covering many different nationalities and academic disciplines - including literature, philology, history, archaeology, art history, theology or religious studies, and philosophy - each essay delves into one woman's life, intellectual contributions, and efforts to succeed in a male-dominated field. Together, these personal histories constitute a new standard reference that speaks to a growing interest in women's roles in the development of scholarship and the academy."--Jacket
