Untitled[edit]

A page on the topic of "Medieval Singlewomen" does not exist on Wikipedia.

Some valuable sources to include:

http://www.upenn.edu/pennpress/book/135.html - Singlewomen in the European Past: This book explores the role and position of European singlewomen (1250-1800) in society.

https://muse.jhu.edu/journals/journal_of_womens_history/v022/22.2.vicinus.html - The Single Woman: Social Problem or Social Solution? by Martha Vicinus

Within our new page, we plan to discuss:

- the definition of singlewomen

- the demographics/prevalence of singlewomen in medieval society

- the role of singlewomen in medieval society

- the social status of medieval singlewomen (how did others view these singlewomen?)

- the economic power of singlewomen

Initial Review[edit]

Given that this article is being group-edited, I'll hold off on edits, however:

Sequential repeated instances of WP:Inline citation may be able to be omitted, however if the pages differ significantly, see Help:References and page numbers.
Avoid WP:Editorial phrases such as "We also know that", "we can assume", "is detrimental to the understanding of", "Interestingly enough", etc.
Much of the "Singlehood and slavery" section should probably fold into Slavery in medieval Europe.

The article seems to be exclusively about European women. Should the title be changed to reflect this, or the scope expanded? FunkMonk (talk) 20:41, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
