A Lifetime of Power: Beyond Binaries of Gender. 330 $aFor decades, medieval scholarship has been dominated by the paradigm that women who wielded power after c. 1100 were exceptions to the ?rule? of female exclusion from governance and the public sphere. This collection makes a powerful case for a new paradigm. Building on the premise that elite women in positions of authority were expected, accepted, and routine, these essays traverse the cities and kingdoms of France, England, Germany, Portugal, and the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem in order to illuminate women?s roles in medieval power structures. Without losing sight of the predominance of patriarchy and misogyny, contributors lay the groundwork for the acceptance of female public authority as normal in medieval society, fostering a new framework for understanding medieval elite women and power. 410 0$aThe New Middle Ages,$x2945-5944 606 $aEurope$xHistory$x476-1492 606 $aEurope$xHistory$x1492- 606 $aFeminism 606 $aFeminist theory 606 $aLiterature, Medieval 606 $aHistory of Medieval Europe 606 $aHistory of Early Modern Europe 606 $aFeminism and Feminist Theory 606 $aMedieval Literature 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$x476-1492. 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$x1492-. 615 0$aFeminism. 615 0$aFeminist theory. 615 0$aLiterature, Medieval. 615 14$aHistory of Medieval Europe. 615 24$aHistory of Early Modern Europe. 615 24$aFeminism and Feminist Theory. 615 24$aMedieval Literature. 676 $a305.40902 676 $a305.420902 702 $aTanner$b Heather J.$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484613103321 996 $aMedieval Elite Women and the Exercise of Power, 1100?1400$94450286 997 $aUNINA
