Lay women's religion in the later middle ages.

Abstract

This thesis examines lay women's religious practice in the later middle ages, utilising formal documents of record and wills. It posits the questions of what roles laywomen undertook in the medieval catholic church, what duties they undertook and what duties the Church expected of them. It makes the case of a specifically female religious practice.
