We are delighted and honoured to present a digital publication by the distinguished American art historian and leading expert on medieval art, Dr. Barbara Drake Boehm (Paul and Jill Ruddock Curator Emerita of the Department of Medieval Art and The Cloisters at the Metropolitan Museum of Art). The central question of this publication is: How are medieval women portrayed, or how did they present themselves through the books they collected? How do we perceive them today?
