This study reconstructs the public lives of peasant women and men during the six decades preceding the Black Death of 1348-49. Drawing on the extensive records of the forest manor of Brigstock, Judith Bennett challenges the myth of a "golden age" of equality for medieval men and women. Instead, she demonstrates that women faced profound political, legal, economic, and social disadvantages in their dealings with men.
