Reviews

This is a learned book and a fine testimony to its author's firm grasp on her subject. [...] This book makes a valuable contribution to the burgeoning studies of women and the crusades, and is recommended for its careful methodological approach and its thorough scholarship.
*CRUSADES*

A thoroughly researched, scholarly survey of the role and depiction of royal and noble women in the crusades to the Middle East and the so-called 'crusader states'. Provides a good general introduction to medieval women's history and the modern historiography of medieval women, which will recommend it to students and their lecturers. This is a valuable contribution to scholarship, which will be useful not only to students but also to any scholar studying medieval women or the crusades and the crusader states.
*EHR*

Hodgson's work makes a worthwhile addition to a typically male-dominated area of research.
