Gender in Medieval Spaces, Places and Thresholds

Claire’s chapter ‘On the Threshold? The Role of Women in Lincolnshire’s Late Medieval Parish Guilds’ has been published in the Institute of Historical Research volume ‘Gender in Medieval Spaces, Places and Thresholds.’ Edited by Victoria Blud, Diane Heath, Einat Klafter, the collection addresses the concept of gender in the Middle Ages ‘from womb to tomb’. It interrogates the thresholds between sacred and secular, public and private, enclosure and exposure, domestic and political, movement and stasis, the essays in this interdisciplinary collection draw on current research and contemporary theory to suggest new destinations for future study.
