 | The Measure of Woman: Law and Female Identity in the Crown of Aragon Drawing on hundreds of unpublished court records, Marie Kelleher examines how women in the fourteenth-century Crown of Aragon engaged with patriarchal assumptions to shape their own legal identities, thus playing a crucial role in the formation of a gendered legal culture that shaped women's lives throughout Europe for centuries afterwards. Marie A. Kelleher is Associate Professor of History at California State University, Long Beach. |
