“The medieval woman was both idealised and vilified. The idea that she might stray outside the boundaries established by her family and husband threw the medieval man into a veritable fit of anxiety. Pilgrimages gave women a justification for escaping the confines of their existence and this book examines this topic.”GoodReads
