Description
A "common woman" in medieval England was a prostitute, distinguished as such less for taking money for sex than for belonging to all men in common.
Karras's book tells the story of these women, their experiences, relations, and treatment under the law, and concludes that prostitution was central to the medieval understanding of feminity.
