From School Library Journal
YA-- Taking its title from Chaucer, this scholarly but accessible book examines the world of medieval urban women from the 12th to the 16th centuries. Uitz sheds a new and welcome light on an era that, to many YA readers, would seem to have been peopled by famous men who were shadowed by anonymous women of little consequence to history. To disprove this false perception, she quotes extensively from diaries, wills, letters, guild and parish records, and autobiographical sources to develop a fascinating account of the many activities and contributions women made to European society. After some brief historical background, the book is divided into four sections of female activity: trade, crafts, marriage and family, and religion. One of the best aspects is the large number of illustrations, 38 of which are glowing full-page color reproductions. Each picture is fully documented and explained in a concise caption. Uitz makes a valuable contribution not just to the study of women but also to readers' knowledge of a remote but important segment of Western history.
