The contributions to this volume show that, in pre-industrial Europe, women in their prime, women, that is, who had reached maturity and were beyond fertility, but not yet in old age, constitute a separate category for historical and literary analysis.

For some of them, for example, Christine de Pizan, the age of forty even functioned as a trope of female authorship.
