Throughout medieval Europe, women regularly found themselves in court, suing or being sued, defending themselves against criminal accusations, or prosecuting others for crimes committed against them or their families. Yet choosing to litigate entailed accepting the conceptual vocabulary of the learned law, thereby reinforcing the very legal and social notions that often subordinated them. In The Measure of Woman Marie A. Kelleher explores the complex relationship between women and legal culture in Spain's Crown of Aragon during the late medieval period. Aragonese courts measured women according to three factors: their status in relation to men, their relative sexual respectability, and their conformity to ideas about the female sex as a whole. Yet in spite of this situation, Kelleher argues, women were able to play a crucial role in shaping their own legal identities while working within the parameters of the written law. The Measure of Woman reveals that women were not passive recipients-or even victims-of the legal system. Rather, medieval women actively used the conceptual vocabulary of the law, engaging with patriarchal legal assumptions as part of their litigation strategies. In the process, they played an important role in the formation of a gendered legal culture that would shape the lives of women throughout Western Europe and beyond for centuries to come. 410 0$aMiddle Ages series. 606 $aWomen$xLegal status, laws, etc$zSpain$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen$xLegal status, laws, etc.$xHistory. 676 $a346.4601/34 700 $aKelleher$b Marie A$01050101 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463907103321 996 $aThe measure of woman$92479614 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01608nam 2200337Ia 450 001 996396098103316 005 20221108074422.0 035 $a(CKB)4330000000352621 035 $a(EEBO)2240892731 035 $a(OCoLC)11798179 035 $a(EXLCZ)994330000000352621 100 $a19850313d1698 uy | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurbn||||a|bb| 200 12$aA treatise of the asthma$b[electronic resource] $edivided into four parts : in the first is given a history of the fits, and the symptoms preceding them : in the second, the cacochymia which disposes to the fit, and the rarefaction of the spirits which produces it, are described : in the third, the accident causes of the fit, and the symptomatic asthmas are observed : in the fourth, the cure of the asthmas fit, and the method of preventing it is proposed : to which is annext a digression about the several species of acids distinguish'd by their tastes, and 'tis observ'd how far they were thought convenient or injurious in general practice by the old writers, and most particularly in relation to the care of the asthma 210 $aLondon $cPrinted for Richard Wilkin$d1698 215 $a[36], 247 p 300 $aSigned John Floyer. 300 $aReproduction of original in Cambridge University Library. 330 $aeebo-0021 606 $aAsthma 615 0$aAsthma. 700 $aFloyer$b John$cSir,$f1649-1734.$01001053 801 0$bEAA 801 1$bEAA 801 2$bm/c 801 2$bWaOLN 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996396098103316 996 $aA treatise of the asthma$92339216 997 $aUNISA
