Women of the Middle Ages is a well written, layman accessible, and nicely notated monograph on the lives of women in the middle ages by Luke Daly. Released 14th May 2026 by Pen & Sword on their History imprint, it's 224 pages and is available in hardcover and ebook formats. It's worth noting that the ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents as well as interactive links and references throughout.
The author is a doctoral candidate in history and writes well and engagingly on the period. The book is very well annotated throughout and the chapter notes alone are likely worth the price of the book, just for later reference. The text is accessible for modern readers, and not just for academics and historians. Obviously it's a niche subject, but it reads very well for anyone interested in even ancillary history.
The subject content is enhanced by the
inclusion of a cross referenced index (with active hyperlinks in the ebook format), chapter notes and bibliography.
Four stars. This is well and deeply researched and interesting book. It would be an excellent choice for public or home library reference.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
