The aim of this subject is to study the role of women from the 5th to the 15th century in different geographical and political areas of the Western European world from different perspectives (family, marriage, inheritance, church, social class, work and thought). Even today, historical research and its explanation are carried out without a gender perspective. The vision transmitted by medieval intellectuals, mainly from the Church, often excludes women or is simply impregnated with misogynistic ideas about the female sex. The direct testimonies of women are even rarer, and those of peasants and workers even more so. However, there is a great deal of research to be done on the basis of written documents of various origins: from biblical exegesis texts to wills or property deeds. Even from an archaeological point of view, little attention is paid to these issues. In general, historical and archaeological research on gender and women has been segregated from the main subjects of research, and the gender perspective is hardly integrated into historical narratives.

The assessment will be based on:
- an essay done by two students (30%)
- exam 1 (35%)
- exam 2 (35%)
Dates of delivery will be fixed at the beginning of the term.
Attendance and participation in class activities will be assessed to round up marks.
Exams will include text commentaries and theory questions.
To pass the course, it is necessary to submit all the assessment activities.
No marks below 4 will be averaged with any of the failed marks.
The minimum average to be able to make the recovery must be 3.5.
Students will obtain a Not assessed/Not submitted course grade unless they have submitted
more than 1/3 of the assessment items.
The recovery will consist of an exam. Students will only be able to attend the exam if they have done all the activities. The essay cannot be repeated. The maximum overall mark will be 5/10.
In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation
in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this
activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as
the final grade for this subject. The assessment items with irregularities will not be reassessed.
Single assessment:
- an essay (30%)
- exam 1 (35%)
- exam 2 (35%)
The delivery date of the paper and exams will be unique (January 2024).
The same recovery system will be applied as for continuous assessment.
On carrying out each assessment activity, lecturers will inform students (on Moodle) of the
procedures to be followed for reviewing all grades awarded, and the date on which such a
review will take place.
