Description	Rosalie Gilbert is a historian, archaeologist and specialist in the Middle Ages, known for her research into everyday life, hygiene and women’s intimate relationships in that era. In her book, she offers an inside view of medieval sexual practices. Were medieval women slaves to their husbands’ desires, and did they wear chastity belts in their absence? Was sex a duty or a pleasure? Could a woman speak about her sexuality and her body? The intimate lives of medieval women were just as complex and tangled as ours are today; even then, very little in this sphere was entirely clear and definite, while most aspects of sexual relations were ambiguous and blurred. Women of that time, like women today, loved and lost, hoped and made secret plans, laughed and cried, experienced rises and falls. They were filled with hopes; they fell in love. Among them were the chaste and the lustful. Some were forced into sex and then had to deal with the consequences. Others prepared aphrodisiacs and dressed seductively. Sometimes access to sex was difficult to obtain. Sometimes avoiding intimate relations was even harder. Despite the hundreds of years separating the mysterious sexual lives of medieval women from the intimate lives of women today, they still have a great deal in common. In essence, only the women themselves have truly changed. In this book, you will find true stories of more than a hundred women who really lived in the Middle Ages.
