Ellie Jackson on Medieval Women

Wondering what medieval women did for us anyway? Or how we even know what they did, given back then only the monks could write? Then get yourself to the British Library's new exhibition, Medieval Women: In Their Own Words. Jen caught up with the exhibition’s curator Ellie Jackson to find out how much we have in common with our medieval ancestors, and why they remain relevant to our lives today. Medieval Women: In Their Own Words is showing at the British Library until March 2, 2025. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
