The Measure of Woman: Law and Female Identity in the Crown of Aragon - The Middle Ages Series
Marie A. Kelleher
Drawing on hundreds of unpublished court records, Marie Kelleher examines how women in the fourteenth-century Crown of Aragon engaged with patriarchal assumptions to shape their own legal identities, thus playing a crucial role in the formation of a gendered legal culture that shaped women's lives throughout Europe for centuries afterwards.
