This animated short challenges enduring myths, spawned by fairy tales and romances, about women in medieval society. It explores the differences and similarities between that distant period and our own, and shows what medieval women’s lives were really like.
Unfortunately the movie Illuminated Lives: A Brief History of Women's Work in the Middle Ages is not yet available on HBO Max.
