520 What can anthropological and folkloristic approaches to
food, gender, and medicine tell us about these topics in
the Middle Ages beyond the textual evidence itself? Women,
Food, and Diet in the Middle Ages: Balancing the Humours
uses these approaches to look at the textual traditions of
dietary recommendations for women's health, placed within
the context of the larger cultural concerns of gender
roles and Church teachings about women. Women are expected
to be nurturers, healers, and the primary locus of food
provisioning for families, especially when considering the
lower social classes which are typically overlooked in the
written record. What can we know about women, food,
medicine, and diet in the Middle Ages and how does the
written medical tradition interact with folk medicine and
other cultural factors in both understanding women's
bodies and their roles as healers and food providers.
