Beguines, Saints and Warriors: Remarkable Women and how they beat the status quo NEW


ID : 929   

« back to classes page
Have you ever heard of the Beguines? Are you familiar with the idea of “holy anorexia”? Are you intrigued by the stories of women who lived, fought, or worked as men? Across history, many “ordinary” women chose extraordinary paths—even in eras when their options were severely limited.

In this four-week class, we’ll explore some of the most compelling and unconventional women from the medieval period through the post–American Civil War era, drawn from cultures around the world. We’ll look at their achievements, their sacrifices, and the ways they challenged the constraints of their time.
No reading is required; all materials will be provided, along with suggestions for further exploration.
