Reviews

By every measure, E. Jane Burns is a founding mother of medieval feminist scholarship. ... She richly deserves a high-quality Festschrift, and I am happy to say that she has received one.
*MEDIEVAL FEMINIST FORUM*

As testimony to the powerful influence brought to the profession by Burns, examples of inspiration and influence appear throughout, including several by notable French medievalist feminists.
