Sommario/riassunto

Employing an innovative range of materials from written sources to artworks, material objects, heritage sites and urban precincts, and combining historical, historiographical, museological, and touristic analysis, this study investigates how late medieval and early modern women of the Low Countries expressed themselves, how they were



represented by contemporaries, and how they have been interpreted in modern academic and popular contexts.
