Summary: Duby and the quest for women
Comment: Eleanor of Aquitane and six others is the first book of a trilogy on women by Georges Duby. It is an interesting approach to the writer who, not many years ago named the Middle Ages "the age of men". Duby brings some light into a still obscure part of medieval history which is the condition of women. The essays are well written and easily understood by all readers, specialized or not. He focuses on the image created of women, and that's the main problem with the text. By insisting on images of women he fails to bring into light the reality of women's lives to emphasize the representation of women and not women themselves.
