Changing Views of Women Throughout History
This chapter explores the evolution of societal perceptions of women from the medieval era to the present day, including the portrayal of women as sexually voracious, the rise of the cult of the Virgin Mary, the popularization of courtly love, and the objectification of women. It also discusses the class distinctions between working-class and elite women, the extreme measures taken to control elite women's sexuality, and the role of women in war, particularly during the Wars of the Roses.
