Helen Nicholson's latest book provides a survey of women's involvement in the Crusades between the late eleventh and sixteenth centuries. Nicholson writes clearly and accessibly, and draws on a wide array of sources. While Women and the Crusades understandably focuses mostly on Christian women, Nicholson is also at pains to show how these events also shaped the lives of Jewish and Muslim women. This is a serviceable overview which I think will be of greatest use in demonstrating for the general reader that women truly were integral to a set of conflicts which are ever-present in popular culture and yet also widely misunderstood.

This book surveys women's involvement in medieval crusading between the second half of the eleventh century, when Pope Gregory VII first proposed a penitential military expedition to help the Christians of the East, and 1570, when the last crusader state, Cyprus, was captured by the Ottoman Turks. It considers women's actions not only on crusade battlefields but also in recruiting crusaders, supporting crusades through patronage, propaganda, and prayer, and as both defenders and aggressors. It argues that medieval women were deeply involved in the crusades but the roles that they could play and how their contemporaries recorded their deeds were dictated by social convention and cultural expectations. Although its main focus is the women of Latin Christendom, it also looks at the impact of the crusades and crusaders on the Jews of western Europe and the Muslims of the Middle East, and compares relations between Latin Christians and Muslims with relations between Muslims and other Christian groups.
