Hetta Howes: Poet, Mystic, Widow, Wife

Enter the extraordinary lives and minds of four medieval women – Christine de Pizan, widow and court writer; mystic, Julian of Norwich; poet, Marie de France and no-good wife Margery Kemp. Medieval historian Hetta Howes describes how these women pushed back against misogamy, broke ground in women’s writing and provided insights into medieval life and politics.
