- Resum
- This essay introduces a special issue of the Journal of Medieval History on the topic of ‘Conversing with the minority: relationsamong Christian, Jewish, and Muslim Women in the High Middle Ages'. Despite the fact that both interfaith relations and women'shistory are now well established subdisciplines within the field of medieval studies,the question of how medieval women themselves established cross-sectarian relations has rarely been explored. Documenting women's history is almost always problematic because of limited source materials, but this essay suggests thatmuch can be learned by looking at areas where Christian, Jewish,and Muslim women shared certain facets of their lives: either byreason of social relations tied to religion and ethnicity (money-lending being a common bond between Jewish and Christianwomen, slavery between Christian women and Muslims) or byreason of events that connected them due to their shared sex and gender (childbirth, caring for the dead, even cosmetics). By actively looking for ‘spaces' where women would be found, we can beginto hear the dialogues that passed among women across religiouslines.
