Exploring the transformation of female identity in fourteenth-century Britain, the book examines how the aftermath of the plague and significant cultural changes led to a temporary expansion of women's roles. Traditional labels such as maiden, wife, and widow became insufficient to capture the complexities of women's experiences during this period, highlighting a pivotal moment in the evolution of womanhood.
