Book Synopsis
Patricia Skinner is Wellcome Research Fellow in History of Medicine at Swansea University, UK. She has published widely in the field of medieval history.

Trade Review
This is a lucid and lively introduction to the study of women, masculinity and sexuality in Europe, c.500-1500. Skinner offers her own stimulating take on the important debates of recent decades, illuminates key concepts, and suggests source material that students might explore further. * Cordelia Beattie, University of Edinburgh, UK *
Skinner’s study of the history of writing on women, gender, and sexuality in the Middle Ages should be essential reading for all students of the medieval era, and is one that I will assign in classes again and again. * Linda Mitchell, UMKC, USA *
