Judith Bennett works on the history of women in late medieval England, publishing extensively on peasant women, women’s work, and never-married women. She has written about medieval history generally, including a biography of one medieval woman and a textbook on the European Middle Ages. And she also writes about feminist history, especially in her History Matters (2006), an extended commentary on current practices in women’s and gender history.
