But when we dig a little deeper into the truth, we can see that the "Dark" Ages were anything but. Oxford and BBC historian Janina Ramirez has uncovered countless influential women's names struck out of historical records, with the word FEMINA annotated beside them. As gatekeepers of the past ordered books to be burned, artworks to be destroyed, and new versions of myths, legends and historical documents to be produced, our view of history has been manipulated. Only now, through a careful examination of the artifacts, writings and possessions they left behind, are the influential and multifaceted lives of women emerging. Femina goes beyond the official records to uncover the true impact of women, such as: Jadwiga, the only female king in Europe Margery Kempe, who exploited her image and story to ensure her notoriety Loftus Princess, whose existence gives us clues about the beginnings of Christianity in England In Femina, Ramirez invites us to see the medieval world with fresh eyes and discover why these remarkable women were removed from our collective memories. 538 $a Requires OverDrive app (file size: 38 KB). 650 17 $a Nonfiction. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a History. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Women's Studies. $2 OverDrive 655 7 $a Electronic books. $2 local 700 1 $a Ramirez, Janina. 856 40 $u http://link.overdrive.com/?websiteID=251&titleID=9068431 $z Click to download here. 856 4 $3 Image $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/0293-1/%7BF9B2E537-3FC3-41CA-8DDC-85814C0D3330%7DIMG100.JPG $z Large cover image 856 4 $3 Thumbnail $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/0293-1/%7BF9B2E537-3FC3-41CA-8DDC-85814C0D3330%7DIMG200.JPG $z Thumbnail cover image 856 40 $3 Click for more information $u https://api.overdrive.com/v1/collections/v1L1B0wAAAA2Z/products/f9b2e537-3fc3-41ca-8ddc-85814c0d3330 $x 1370 941 $a 2 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20231206012345.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20230204010057.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9A89F3B4A45911EDA94333522DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
