This work examines the role and status of women in England from the time of the Saxons to the present, highlighting the changes in their societal position and the influences of major forces such as the Church and Feudalism. Hill aims to portray women's experiences and contributions throughout history, focusing primarily on domestic life and the broader societal context in which these women lived. The opening of the book provides a comprehensive introduction to the themes and objectives of Hill's study. It outlines the context of women's lives during the Middle Ages, emphasizing their roles in domestic management and activities associated with the manor. Despite the male-dominated society, women often held significant responsibilities, managing household affairs while men were away due to conflict. The text further explores the influence of the Church on women's status, depicting the duality of elevation and subordination, and suggests that women's position varied significantly depending on their social standing. This provides a foundation for understanding the complexities of women's lives in historical England, setting the stage for a detailed examination in subsequent chapters.
