Women, as the deeply rooted cliché would have it, played scarcely any part. But this book tells a different story, one in which women step forward as the main characters. In the southern Low Countries, townswomen held substantial rights, which they used to conduct business, voice their opinions, and assert their will.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eUrban Women\u003c\/i\u003e presents a different and lesser-known image of the late Middle Ages, from 1250 to 1550. The authors trace the lives of women protesting, marrying, making love, working, and engaging in the daily life of Low Countries towns. In doing so, this book gives voice to wealthy businesswomen, laborers, religious women, criminals, and sex workers, spotlighting the remarkable figures who shaped a \"women's town\" within a man's world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnglish translation of Wijvenwereld, Chanelle Delameillieure, Andrea Bardyn, Jelle Haemers (red.), (Uitgeverij Vrijdag 2021)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJelle Haemers is professor in Medieval History at KU Leuven.
