Abstract

The article presents the opinions of the 13th-century preacher Gilbert of Tournai on the duties of girls, wives and widows. Gilbert, seeing a great lack of women’s education addressed them in his sermons and indicated which behaviours were proper and which should be changed or avoided. His sermons show how the woman was seen, as well as what her position and role were in 13th-century French society.
