What Was Life Really Like for Women in Medieval Times
What Was Life Really Like for Women in Medieval Times’
Medieval historian Dr Eleanor Janega investigates one of the least recorded aspects of medieval life - working women. But dig deep and you can find the evidence - proving the medieval period is a fascinating window into the true history of women…and work!
In this video, Eleanor gets hands on in the medieval kitchen with experiential archaeologist Caroline Nicolay to explore the jobs of country women, from dairymaids to cheese-sellers to bakers, uncovering some crooked practices along the way...
It all ties in with Eleanor’s fascinating new book: ’The Once and Future Sex: Going Medieval on Women’s Roles in Society’
Watch the full episode to see Eleanor take on the jobs and businesses of real medieval women, from Domina Agnes Ramsey, a highly skilled stonemason with a flourishing business making royal tombs, to Katherine of Bury, a blacksmith plying her trade inside the Tower of London during the Hundred Years’ War.
