The detailed examination of urban justice records shows that women's legal experiences were not uniform; rather, they varied greatly influenced by local laws and personal circumstances.
By analyzing court records, this book sheds light on the multifaceted roles of women in medieval society, emphasizing the importance of place and context in understanding their legal interactions.
The research underscores that while women shared some experiences, their interactions with the law were shaped by their socio-economic status, local interpretations of justice, and unique life histories.
