Illuminating Women in the Medieval World by Christine Sciacca

4.0

This book is very comprehensive in looking at graphic depictions of women in medieval society. Using pictures from the Getty collection one gets a sense of the breadth of the life of Women in European society both east and west as well as in Ethiopia.

Its a very happy experience to see a greater range of depiction than one would have seen before in previous books on this subject. I would highly recommend the sumptuous volume of pictures to anyone interested in medieval life, the history of women or the development of art.
