Absolutely! You may also consider female perception of the 'other' and the Muslim vs Christian dichotomy.

Yep. I see Guibert of Nogent gives us the Christian helpmeet of man vs the Muslim nymphomaniacal baby-abandoner.

But I am only beginning research & am not at all sure where I'm going. Have previously stuck to C14 & 15.

Crusades my specialism! Happy to help if you want it!

Thank you! I've tended to look at how women used religious narratives to negotiate authority & autonomy for selves. 1300-1700

Which is not to suggest they were not sincere. I usually end up arguing against ppl who see religion merely as a code.

Ha. So do I! You see sincerity in medieval 12th and 13th century heresy all the time.
