Title:
Medieval Women in Context [The author discusses recent historical crime fiction set in the Middle Ages with women as the main characters. Authors Candace Robb and Margaret Frazer are mentioned, but Johnsen gives extended treatment to author Sharan Newman and her 12th century character Catherine LeVendeur. Also discussed are literary themes involving Heloise, pilgrimage, Jews, women's roles, and modern issues which parallel medieval concerns. Title note supplied by Feminae.]
