Unexceptionable. A fairly straightforward look at the material objects associated with the sisters Matilda, Johanna and Leonor and what they tell us about their ability to exercise power. Unless you're particularly interested in the career of Matilda of England, you'll get most of the key points that Jitske Jasperse makes in Medieval Women in much more condensed form in her 2017 Journal of Medieval History article. There's nothing really new here except a little more theory gets thrown in. (I know it makes me terribly unfashionable right now, but I don't think that objects have agency.) ( )
