From seventh-century Northumbria to eleventh-century Wessex and making extensive use of primary sources, 'Women of Power in Anglo-Saxon England' examines the lives of individual women in a way that has often been done for the Anglo-Saxon men but not for their wives, sisters, mothers and daughters. It tells their stories: those who ruled and schemed, the peace-weavers and the warrior women, the saints and the sinners. It explores, and restores, their reputations.
