Women - Female life in the Middle Ages

Rulers and handmaidens, abbesses and mothers, rebels and saints: the summer exhibition at the Abbey Library of St.Gallen shows the diversity of medieval women's lives. It tells of cloistered nuns, well-read nuns and hard-working servants, but also of role models, women's health and resistance in times of upheaval.
