The Middle Ages are portrayed as a brutal era of Vikings, saints, and kings, as well as a patriarchal society that oppressed and excluded women. But, when we delve deeper into the reality, we discover that the 'dark' periods were everything but. Janina Ramirez, an Oxford and BBC historian, has discovered innumerable famous women's names that have been crossed out of historical records and replaced with the word FEMINA. Our understanding of history has been distorted as gatekeepers of the past ordered books to be burned, artworks to be destroyed, and new versions of myths, tales, and historical documents to be created. Only now, through a careful examination of the artefacts, 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 like Jadwiga, the only female King in Europe, Margery Kempe, who exploited her image and story to ensure her notoriety, and the Loftus Princess, whose existence gives us clues about the beginnings of Christianity in England. See the medieval world with fresh eyes and discover why these remarkable women were removed from our collective memories.
