Women, Testamentary Discourse, and Life-Writing in Later Medieval England [the author examines wills of 19 women and those of their husbands as autobiographical compositions; she notes differences between female and male wills with women leaving clothing and jewelry rather than land and remembering a network of female relatives, friends, and servants].
