A Pernicious Sort of Woman provides examination of the writings of canon lawyers in the late Middle Ages as they come to terms with women who were not, strictly speaking, religious, but who were thought of as such. It studies the ways that jurists categorized these women and clarifies the ambivalent canons relating to their lives in the community.
