Femina goes beyond the official historical records to uncover the true impact of women like Jadwiga, Margery Kempe, and the Loftus Princess. See the medieval world with fresh eyes and discover why these remarkable women were removed from our collective memories. A groundbreaking reappraisal of medieval femininity.
