"Amazing that this book is available at all. I do not believe one can grasp the milieu of Middle English writing without an understanding of the nuns and nunneries of those centuries. For example, this essential book brings a great depth of meaning to Chaucer's Prioress in the Prologue to the Canterbury Tales."
"Eileen Power is the mother of feminist medieval studies. Nobody does it better except those who stand on her shoulders. This 725-page encyclopedia of knowledge is the mother lode. Everybody who has come since has relied on it, and it never disappoints. If you want to know about women in the middle ages, start here."
