Summary
The feel-good place to buy books
Mothers, Mystics and Merrymakers by Sarah Hopper
Presents women as pilgrims, saints, wives, mothers, widows, mystics and tavern owners, as victims of abuse, danger and misogynistic opposition and not least as pious devotees and enthusiastic souvenir shoppers! Here, the author brings to life the ambiguities, the joys and the perils of being a medieval woman.
Sarah Hopper is the author of To Be a Pilgrim (Sutton, 2002), an introduction to medieval pilgrimage. Her background is in history and art history and her articles have appeared in The Times and BBC History.
