Long before the reigns of modern female monarchs such as Elizabeth II of Great Britain and Margaret II of Denmark, women in positions of political, spiritual, and cultural authority shaped the landscape of the premodern world from Northern Europe to the Eastern Mediterranean. As reigning monarchs, abbesses, holy figures, and mothers, women were prominent in the political courts, monasteries, and cities that dominated the European, West Asian, and Mediterranean landscapes between the late Roman period and early modernity. To discuss the ways in which women held and exercised authority, this course will focus on five interrelated themes: political and queenly authority, spiritual and monastic empowerment, urban culture and trade, the family and the household, and women as patrons and makers of art. In exploring these themes, this course will take an interdisciplinary focus on the long history of women and authority to push the boundaries and definitions of “power” in a premodern context.
