人类学和民俗学对食物、性别和医学的研究方法，除了文本证据本身，还能告诉我们中世纪这些话题的什么？《中世纪的妇女、食物和饮食：平衡幽默》使用这些方法来审视女性健康饮食建议的文本传统，并将其置于性别角色和教会关于妇女的教义的更大文化关注的背景下。妇女被期望成为养育者、治疗者和为家庭提供食物的主要场所，特别是在书面记录中通常被忽视的社会下层妇女。这项工作阐明了我们可以知道的妇女，食品，医药和饮食在中世纪，并探讨如何书面医学传统与民间医学和其他文化因素相互作用，在理解妇女的身体和他们的角色作为治疗师和食品供应商。
What can anthropological and folkloristic approaches to food, gender, and medicine tell us about these topics in the Middle Ages beyond the textual evidence itself? Women, Food, and Diet in the Middle Ages: Balancing the Humours uses these approaches to look at the textual traditions of dietary recommendations for women’s health, placed within the context of the larger cultural concerns of gender roles and Church teachings about women. Women are expected to be nurturers, healers, and the primary locus of food provisioning for families, especially women of the lower social classes, typically overlooked in the written record. This work illuminates what we can know about women, food, medicine, and diet in the Middle Ages, and examines how the written medical tradition interacts with folk medicine and other cultural factors in both understanding women’s bodies and their roles as healers and food providers.
