Introduction There is no doubt that the modern world has almost nothing in common with one of the Middle Ages. Everything has changed and it is especially important for those areas related to maintaining an appropriate level of health and removing causes of serious diseases that may significantly decrease the quality of lives. Speaking about the particular role of women in medieval medicine and its further development, it is necessary to say that women were supposed to fulfill a wide range of important tasks even though they were not regarded as full-fledged citizens in certain places. Therefore, the Middle Ages can be regarded as a period that was very difficult for women who were or were not related to medicine. The activity of many women in non-urban areas was related to studying curative properties of different herbs and the ways that they could be used to help different patients including women in labor. Apart from that, a lot of women were working as midwives and nurses despite limited access to important scientific works written by Greek and Roman individual researchers (Ward 2016). In the most difficult periods in history marked with uncontrolled growth of contagious diseases, nurses were supposed to fulfill duties usually performed by surgeons and other healthcare specialists even though they might be uneducated. Also, the works were written by some famous women who helped to extend the knowledge of systems of the human body. In particular, there was a need for substantial research on women’s reproductive system due to a lack of knowledge that caused quite high maternal mortality rates. Therefore, the role that medieval women played in the further development of practices helping to save the lives of common people is difficult to overestimate. The Role of the Achievements of Women Nurses and Doctors To begin with, such a sphere as medicine in the Middle Ages was closely interconnected with religion and supernaturalism even though assumptions supported by scientific evidence were supposed to refute allegations related to supernatural and mysterious reasons for many diseases. Speaking about medieval Europeans and their level of medicine, it is necessary to say that it was relatively weak because there was no justified knowledge of many systems of the human body. Due to that, many diseases and disorders that modern researchers know a lot of things about were explained by the presence of supernatural powers and creatures that could torture sick people because of their sins or inappropriate thoughts. During that period, people were likely to have a strong faith in God. At the same time, assumptions that certain expressions and rituals could help to ameliorate the health condition of patients were quite common, and a lot of people used magic rituals in their work. Nevertheless, one supporting church denied the possibility of using magic to help sick people. Speaking about medicine in the Middle Ages, it is necessary to say that these facts about the prevalence of religious points of view and endemic belief in supernatural powers help modern researchers to better understand difficulties that women living in the Medieval Ages had to face and the reason why their position in many spheres was not equal to one of the men.
