"A tour de force." * David Nicholas, Clemson University *
"A vivid, valuable portrait." * History *
"Comprehensive and authoritative." * Medium Aevum *
"Walter Simons has written a thorough, scholarly study, long on careful research, to the point on analysis, and without theoretical trappings. Cities of Ladies is a most welcome contribution to the study of medieval religious life and women's place in the life of the Low Countries." * Speculum *
"Indispensable for students of medieval religion and women's history." * Journal of Religion *
"The definitive study. . . . A learned, lively, and highly readable book, now the essential introduction to the subject." * Choice *
"This fine work reveals medieval religion as a web of overlapping interests. . . . Simons has thus both provided a detailed study of the movement in the Low Countries and place it in its wider religious, social, and economic context." * Ecclesiastical History *
