It is especially through the visual record of material culture that we can hear female voices, allowing us to forge an alternative way toward rethinking assumptions about power for sparsely-documented elite women.Gender and power in the premodern world.Power (Social sciences)EuropeHistoryTo 1500Sex roleEuropeHistoryTo 1500WomenEuropeHistoryMiddle Ages, 500-1500Personal belongingsEuropeHistoryTo 1500Material cultureEuropeHistoryTo 1500WomenEuropeSocial conditionsElectronic books.
