How did women of the Middle Ages live - in cities, villages and high castles? How did men want them to be and what were they really like?
Conflicting demands haunted medieval women throughout their lives. A woman had to be beautiful, but she didn't have to do anything about it. She was supposed to be pious, but she was considered hopelessly vicious by nature. They had to keep the home, give birth to children and work hard. Women were to blame for all disasters - from the fall of Eve to the global flood and plague. How did they cope with all this? Historian Eleanor Yanega tells the story of prominent women of the time and others, lesser known, whose stories are hidden in documents and court cases. Farmers, breweries, craftswomen and artists - they changed the understanding of female nature, intelligence and abilities.
