This text proposes to examine the historical experience, both secular and religious, of women in Flanders, one of the most economically dynamic regions of medieval Europe. The articles in this collection are written within the framework of the thesis that medieval Flemish women were more publicly visible and more integrated into their society than their counterparts in England, France, and Italy.

ELLEN KITTELL is Associate Professor of History at the University of Idaho. She is author of From Ad Hoc to Routine: A Case Study in Medieval Bureaucracy. MARY SUYDAM teaches Religious studies at Kenyon College. She is editor, along with Joanna Ziegler, of Performance and Transformation: New Approaches to Late Medieval Spirituality.
