Drawing on myriad sources - from the faint traces left by the rocking of a cradle at the site of an early medieval home to an antique illustration of Eve's fall from grace - this second volume in the series offers new perspectives on women of the past. Twelve historians from many countries examine the image of women in the masculine mind, their social condition, and their daily experience from the demise of the Roman Empire to the genesis of the Italian Renaissance.
