Book Synopsis Gender and Fraternal Orders in Europe, 1300–2000 by : Máire Fedelma Cross
Book excerpt: What have medieval nuns, parrot shooting, Freemasonry, and Shetland revelry got in common? This study of monastic orders, guilds, Freemasonry and friendly societies over centuries and across frontiers provides new insights into their contribution to the gendering of public space and the evolution of 'separate spheres' in Europe.
