Medieval Women And Urban Justice: Commerce, Crime And Community In England, 1300–1500 (Gender In History)

This is the first in-depth, comparative study of women's access to justice in medieval English towns. It compares the records of Nottingham, Chester and Winchester and a wide range of legal actions to highlight the variable nature of women's legal status in actions that arose from the complex, messy ties of everyday life.
