| Summary: | "This book describes the ways in which married women appeared in legal practice in the medieval Swedish realm 1350-1450, through both the agency of women, and through the norms that surrounded their actions.

For this book, more than 6,000 original charters have been researched, and a database of all the charters pertaining to women created.
