**Overview:**
"Femina: A New History of the Middle Ages, Through the Women Written Out of It" by Janina Ramirez is a groundbreaking work that challenges traditional narratives of the Middle Ages, shedding light on the influential and multifaceted lives of women who have been erased or overlooked by history.
In this compelling narrative history, Janina Ramirez, an Oxford and BBC historian, explores the untold stories of women whose names were deliberately struck out of historical records, often with the word "FEMINA" annotated beside them. During the Middle Ages, as gatekeepers of the past manipulated records, ordered the destruction of books and artworks, and produced new versions of myths and legends, the true contributions of women were suppressed.
Ramirez delves into the artefacts, writings, and possessions left behind by these remarkable women to reveal their lasting impact on medieval society. She introduces readers to figures like Jadwiga, the only female King in Europe, Margery Kempe, who harnessed her image and story for notoriety, and the Loftus Princess, whose existence provides clues about the beginnings of Christianity in England.
By uncovering the hidden stories of these women, "Femina" invites readers to see the medieval world with fresh eyes and challenges the notion that the Middle Ages were solely a patriarchal and oppressive era. Janina Ramirez's passionate advocacy for the women of the Middle Ages reshapes our understanding of history and underscores the importance of acknowledging their contributions to society.
