這部法英對照雙語版的書，收錄了三首十三世紀末期和十四世紀初期活潑、有趣的法國詩歌。其中一首詩列出了女人的美德，另兩首則是針對女人的罪惡作攻擊。本書並附有整的註解。這三首法文詩首度譯成英語，提供了對中世紀婦女、中世紀社會史和對女人的恐懼之深刻見解。 

                         [Original description]
This bilingual edition of three lively and amusing French poems dating from the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries contains two poems that assail the vices of women and a third that lists women's virtues. The verses, translated here into English for the first time, provide significant insights into the role of women in the Middle Ages as well as into medieval social history and the history of misogyny.

The pairing of one pro-female poem and two anti-female ones deliberately mirrors the medieval polemic concerning women and the misogynic tradition that had prevailed since antiquity. The essay by Gloria Fiero explores this tradition, in the course of describing the manners, morals, domestic arrangements, occupations, and dress of feudal society. Wendy Pfeffer discusses the language and genre of the poems and provides an account of the existing manuscripts of the texts and their variants. The poems, presented with French and English texts on facing pages, are fully annotated and accompanied by extensive explanatory materials. Fourteen illustrations drawn from contemporary medieval sources complement the topics treated. Included also are a selected reading list and bibliography.
