Women in Medieval SocietySusan Mosher Stuard University of Pennsylvania Press, 2012 M04 17 - 224 páginas Early medieval women exercised public roles, rights, and responsibilities. Women contributed through their labor to the welfare of the community. Women played an important part in public affairs. They practiced birth control through abortion and infanticide. Women committed crimes and were indicted. They owned property and administered estates.
