Illuminating women in the medieval world / Christine Sciacca. by Sciacca, Christine, 1976- author. Los Angeles : The J. Paul Getty Museum, [2017] Subjects Women in art.   Illumination of books and manuscripts, Medieval -- Themes, motives.   Women -- History -- Middle Ages, 500-1500. ISBN:  9781606065266 (hardcover) : 1606065262 (hardcover) Description:  ix, 108 pages : color facsimiles ; 24 cm Contents:  Medieval ideals of womanhood -- Warnings to medieval women -- Medieval women in daily life -- Medieval women in the arts. Requests:  0 Summary:  "When one thinks of women in the Middle Ages, the images that often come to mind are those of damsels in distress, mystics in convents, female laborers in the field, and even women of ill repute. In reality, however, medieval conceptions of womanhood were multifaceted, and women's roles were varied and nuanced. Female stereotypes existed in the medieval world, but so too did women of power and influence. The pages of illuminated manuscripts reveal to us the many facets of medieval womanhood and slices of medieval life--from preoccupations with biblical heroines and saints to courtship, childbirth, and motherhood. While men dominated artistic production, this volume demonstrates the ways in which female artists, authors, and patrons were instrumental in the creation of illuminated manuscripts."--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 305.40902 Sc Checked In Add Copy to MyList
