For centuries, the dominant narrative of medieval intellectual history has sidelined the women who shaped it. Echoes of Intellect: Women of the Medieval Mind challenges the notion that the Middle Ages were an exclusively male-driven era of thought. From the fall of the Western Roman Empire to the cusp of the Renaissance, this book uncovers the vital yet often overlooked contributions of women who engaged deeply with philosophy, science, theology, literature, and governance. These women were not anomalies; they were integral participants in the shaping of intellectual life.
