If it's not to much to ask, would you please name 3 crucial reads that would help a person to see this bigger picture?

This is the thing. If you go for metahistories or sources which try to summarise a huge topic like the church or women, doomed to failure.

But if there is some period (in England) or topic you are interested in between 1300 and 1700, I can probably help!

If, for example, you are interested in looking beneath the Protestant narrative of the hideously corrupt late Catholic church?

Or you want to know how the Black Death briefly empowered women & what this meant for them in reality?

The latter is an essay in David Aers Culture and History 1350-1600: Essays on English Communities, Identities & Writing which is all great.
