The status of women in medieval western Europe has long been recognized as complex. The single issue of gender is clearly inadequate to categorize what is now known about the historical realities of life in the Middle Ages. In a seminal paper of 1926, the British medieval historian Eileen Power developed views concerning the medieval status of women which has had a major impact on subsequent discussion of the question. Her three main points remain landmarks in contemporary discussion, even if historical research has modified them at points.
1. A distinction had to be made between medieval ideas about women and the everyday experiences of women. Furthermore, these ideas were often so confused and self- contradictory that they had relatively little direct impact on everyday life.
2. While medieval women faced some serious challenges – such as a legal system which assumed female inferiority, and a social structure that invested men with considerable power over women’s lives – Power noted that most medieval women found themselves in a position “neither of inferiority nor of superiority, but of a certain rough-and-ready equality.”
3. The real issue was not gender, but social class. Power focused her attention on feudal ladies, townswomen, and peasants, ignoring others of potential importance – such as women in religious orders.
Later studies have modified this framework, noting the importance of other factors in shaping the fortunes of women at this time, including ethnicity and regional identity. Yet there is another class of women who played an especially significant role in Christianity during the Middle Ages – women mystics, and members of female religious orders.
