The Once and Future Sex: Going Medieval on Women's Roles in Society by Eleanor Janega
informative
medium-paced
3.5
If you have an interest in gender studies or medieval history (or both!) this is the book for you.
I spend a lot of time listening to Eleanor’s podcast so I’ve heard a lot of the topics discussed in the book before. It’s fairly surface level but very interesting for someone new to the topic of women’s role in medieval society.
I really wish Eleanor was doing the audio book narration herself. I think a lot of her biting sarcastic comments didn’t land as well without her.
