Eleanor Janega - Going Medieval on Women's Roles in Society

What makes for the ideal woman? How should she look, love, and be?  Eleanor Janega teaches medieval and early modern history at the London School of Economics. She's the creator of the blog Going Medieval and the author of The Once and Future Sex, a new book exploring the ideals of womanhood in the medieval period. Featuring medieval pick-up artists and beauty standards inspired by the Bible, Eleanor's conversation about it with Luke Naylor Perrott is funny, thought-provoking, and not suitable for children.
