This review is from: Gendering the Crusades (Paperback)
I discovered this gem while recording a text on the Second Crusade for upper level university courses. Most extant historical documents were written by monks or military commanders and so exclude half the population due to lack of exposure or out right fear of temptation. It is sadly true that "well behaved women seldom make history," otherwise there would be information on more women than Eleanor of Aquitaine or Isabella of France. However, women were there, in the thick of it, and all the same gender involved situations came up then as now. This book delves into a fuller picture of what was going on. It is a collection, so the writing talent varies, but it is informative.
