Feminae: Medieval Women and Gender Index

Feminae: Medieval Women and Gender Index 1990 - present.      Save to del.icio.us

“Covers journal articles, book reviews, and essays in books about women, sexuality, and gender during the Middle Ages.”  More than 500 journals are indexed. “The time period covered is 450 C.E. to 1500 C.E. with Russia extending to 1613, the beginning of the Romanov dynasty, because the sixteenth century is still medieval in social and political terms. The geographic area is Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East as well as areas in which Europeans travelled. Subject coverage for gender and sexuality means that articles on masculinity and male homosexuality are included. Publications in English, French, German, and Spanish have been indexed since the project began in 1996. Materials in Italian began to be included in the database in May 2001.”[Source: What is Feminae and What's Indexed, accessed November 28, 2007]
