British Library reveals 'richness' of women's lives in middle ages
The Guardian
|October 25, 2024
Even in 1480s Essex, women were battling the gender pay gap.
On one farm in Stebbing, near Braintree, 27 men and 16 women were hired to bring in the harvest in 1843. The men were paid 4p a day - but for Cateryn Lytyll, Marget Pers and 14 other women, the rate was 3p.
The women's wages are among the insights in a new exhibition at the British Library. According to its curators, the rich detail of women's lives in the middle ages, and the agency many of them exercised, has often been overlooked.
