Title: Motherhood and mothering in Anglo-Saxon England
First published: 2000
Description: "Motherhood and Mothering in Anglo-Saxon England sifts through the historical evidence to describe and analyze a world of violence and intrigue, where mothers needed to devise their own system to protect, nurture, and teach their children. Little-known historical figures - queens, abbesses, and other noblewomen - used their power in court and convent to provide education, medical care, and safety for their children, showing us that mothers of a thousand years ago and mothers of today had many of the same goals and aspirations."--BOOK JACKET.
