There are not prerquisits
The aim of this subject is to study, through different aspects (family, marriage, heritage, church, social class, labour and thought), the role of the women between the 5th and the 15th centuries in different geographic and political areas of the Western European world. Still nowadays, the historic enquiry and his explanation is done without gender perspective. The vision that the Medieval intellectuals, predominately of church, have transmitted, often excludes the women or simply is impregnated of misogyny ideas on the feminine gender. More scarce are the direct witnesses of women and even less of the farmer and working women. Even though, there are wide possibilities of enquiry by means of the written documentation generated of varied origins: from the Bible exegesis texts to wills or sale of immovable heritage documents. Also, from the archaeological point of view, there is little attention paid to these issues. In general, the historic and archaeological research on gender and women has been segregated from the main subjects of research and gender perspective is scarcely integrated in the historical narratives.

2-The legacy of the ideas: the Christian tradition
3-Family, kinship relationships, marriage and family estate
4-Women and church: female monasteries
5-Educated and noble women

Masterly and practical sessions will be done. Practical sessions will be focused on text analyses and debates
