Femina

In "Femina," historian Janina Ramirez offers a groundbreaking reappraisal of medieval femininity, revealing the significant yet overlooked contributions of women during a time often depicted as oppressive and patriarchal. By examining artifacts and writings, she highlights the lives of influential figures like Jadwiga, Margery Kempe, and Loftus Princess, all of whom have been erased from mainstream historical narratives. This compelling exploration invites listeners to reconsider our understanding of the Middle Ages and the vital roles women played in shaping history, despite systemic efforts to silence them.
