Shulamith Shahar

Shulamith Shahar (2 November 1928 – 9 January 2025) was an Israeli historian. Shahar's 1981 study ''Fourth Estate: A History of Women in the Middle Ages'' was the first to specifically examine the role of women in the medieval period. The book is used as a text for gender studies and medieval history classes. This, and her subsequent books, have been published in both Hebrew and English. She wrote historical articles in these languages as well as French, and translated three books from Latin to Hebrew. Provided by Wikipedia
