Krátky popis
'Janina Ramirez is a born storyteller, and in Femina she is at the
peak of her powers. This is bravura narrative history underpinned
by passionate advocacy for the women whom medieval history has too
often ignored or overlooked. Femina is essential reading' - Dan
Jones, bestselling author of The Plantagenets and Powers and
Thrones'I am the fiery life of divine substance, I blaze above the
beauty of the fields, I shine in the waters, I burn in sun, moon
and stars' - Hildegard of Bingen (1098 - 1179)The middle ages are
seen as a bloodthirsty time of Vikings, saints and kings: a
patriarchal society which oppressed and excluded women.But when we
dig a little deeper into the truth, we can see that the 'dark' ages
were anything but.Oxford and BBC historian Janina Ramirez has
uncovered countless influential women's names struck out of
historical records, with the word FEMINA annotated beside them. As
gatekeepers of the past ordered books to be burnt, artworks to be
destroyed, and new versions of myths, legends and historical
documents to be produced, our view of history has been
manipulated.Only now, through a careful examination of the
artefacts, writings and possessions they left behind, are the
influential and multifaceted lives of women emerging. Femina goes
beyond the official records to uncover the true impact of women
like Jadwiga, the only female King in Europe, Margery Kempe, who
exploited her image and story to ensure her notoriety, and the
Loftus Princess, whose existence gives us clues about the
beginnings of Christianity in England.See the medieval world with
fresh eyes and discover why these remarkable women were removed
from our collective memories.
