Despite the wealth of scholarship in recent decades on medieval women, we still know much less about the experiences of women in the early Middle Ages than we do about those in later centuries. In Women and Aristocratic Culture in the Carolingian World, Valerie L. Garver offers a fresh appraisal of the cultural and social history of eighth- and ninth-century women. Examining changes in women's lives and in the ways others perceived women during the early Middle Ages, she shows that lay and religious women, despite their legal and social constrictions, played integral roles in Carolingian society. Garver's innovative book employs an especially wide range of sources, both textual and material, which she uses to construct a more complex and nuanced impression of aristocratic women than we've seen before. She looks at the importance of female beauty and adornment; the family and the construction of identities and collective memory; education and moral exemplarity; wealth, hospitality and domestic management; textile work, and the lifecycle of elite Carolingian women. Her interdisciplinary approach makes deft use of canons of church councils, chronicles, charters, polyptychs, capitularies, letters, poetry, exegesis, liturgy, inventories, hagiography, memorial books, artworks, archaeological remains, and textiles. Ultimately, Women and Aristocratic Culture in the Carolingian World underlines the centrality of the Carolingian era to the reshaping of antique ideas and the development of lasting social norms.

Ce livre réunit des études sur les formes de pouvoir et sur l'influence qu'ont exercées des femmes, entre l'époque hellénistique et le Haut-Empire romain. Il examine dans un premier chapitre les situations de femmes proches des cercles dirigeants et qui furent tantôt bénéficiaires d'actions masculines, tantôt instrumentalisées par des hommes de leur entourage ; le second chapitre se focalise sur les rôles actifs endossés par des femmes, soit officiellement dans un cadre aulique ou sur la scène publique, soit plus discrètement à l'intérieur des demeures privées. Fondé sur la comparaison entre les deux civilisations, prêtant une grande attention à la terminologie employée par les sources, cet ouvrage conduit le lecteur à s'interroger sur les structures de pouvoir dans l'Antiquité gréco-romaine et sur la place accordée aux femmes dans ces structures.

À partir d'écrits personnels et de consultations épistolaires féminines, cet ouvrage revisite l'histoire du corps et de la médecine au Siècle des Lumières en s'intéressant aux représentations et pratiques des femmes de la haute bourgeoisie et de la noblesse française et helvétique. En tant que lectrices des ouvrages de vulgarisation scientifique et patientes des médecins et chirurgiens-accoucheurs, elles jouent un rôle mésestimé dans la construction et la promotion de leurs pratiques professionnelles dans le contexte d'une médicalisation croissante de l'accouchement, des soins infantiles et de la sexualité. Elles n'en développent pas moins des visions singulières du corps, oscillant entre l'expression d'une corporéité féminine - elle-même traversée par des rapports sociaux de classe et de "race" - qui mènent à repenser la réception des discours scientifiques sur la différenciation sexuelle et les corporéités sociales, comme celle des "gens du monde" caractérisée dans les discours médicaux par un "efféminement". Si la corporéité mondaine constitue pour ces femmes un instrument viril de distinction et de domination sociale, la corporéité féminine les assujettit à une condition infériorisée, quoique difficilement assimilable à celle des femmes populaires ou non blanches qui renvoient à des féminités spécifiques. La physiologie sanguine qu'elles décrivent, liée aux menstrues et aux capacités génésiques, dessine les contours d'expériences plurielles de la maternité, entre intériorisation des rôles sociaux d'épouse et de mère et rejet des injonctions reproductives. Confrontées aux logiques patriarcales et populationnistes, leurs expériences liées à la santé et à la maladie, comme à la sexualité et à la reproduction, invitent donc à reconsidérer, du frisson au baume, ces corps féminins des Lumières.

Unrivalled Influence explores the exceptional roles that women played in the vibrant cultural and political life of medieval Byzantium. Written by one of the world's foremost historians of the Byzantine millennium, this landmark book evokes the complex and exotic world of Byzantium's women, from empresses and saints to uneducated rural widows. Drawing on a diverse range of sources, Judith Herrin sheds light on the importance of marriage in imperial statecraft, the tense coexistence of empresses in the imperial court, and the critical relationships of mothers and daughters. She looks at women's interactions with eunuchs, the in-between gender in Byzantine society, and shows how women defended their rights to hold land. Herrin describes how they controlled their inheritances, participated in urban crowds demanding the dismissal of corrupt officials, followed the processions of holy icons and relics, and marked religious feasts with liturgical celebrations, market activity, and holiday pleasures. The vivid portraits that emerge here reveal how women exerted an unrivalled influence on the patriarchal society of Byzantium, and remained active participants in the many changes that occurred throughout the empire's millennial history. Unrivalled Influence brings together Herrin's finest essays on women and gender written throughout the long span of her esteemed career. This volume includes three new essays published here for the very first time and a new general introduction by Herrin. She also provides a concise introduction to each essay that describes how it came to be written and how it fits into her broader views about women and Byzantium.

Being women provided them with a particular perspective, expressed first-hand through their letters. Dalton shows how Lespinasse, Roland, Renier Michiel, and Mosconi grappled with differences of ideology, social status, and community, often through networks that mixed personal and professional relations, thus calling into question the actual separation between public and private spheres. Building on the work of Dena Goodman and Daniel Gordon, Dalton shows how a variety of conflicts were expressed in everyday life and sheds new light on Venice as an important eighteenth-century cultural centre.
