Early Modern Women in the Low Countries

This study explores the expression and representation of late medieval and early modern women in the Low Countries through diverse materials, including written sources, artworks, and urban sites. It combines various analytical approaches—historical, historiographical, museological, and touristic—to examine how these women articulated their identities and how they have been perceived both in their time and in contemporary scholarship. The work sheds light on the complexities of women's roles and interpretations across different eras.
