Household, Women, and Christianities in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages

"In recent years, secular life and lifestyles in late antiquity and the Middle Ages have been illuminated through renewed attention to the economic and social history of households, while scholarship on women has produced studies of the lives and the devotional reading of laywomen and women religious. This volume is a collection that unites study of the household church's roles in women's history to the impact of women's householding on the history of the church."--BOOK JACKET.
