To date, the history of conversion between Judaism and Christianity in medieval Europe has focused largely on men. The clerks, canon lawyers, preachers, popes, kings, bishops, theologians, chroniclers, rabbis, and poets who wrote about converts were men. Yet, medieval sources also shed light on the experiences of women. This lecture will present new research on the lives of women who converted to and from Judaism in medieval Spain and northern Europe.
