Brujas, prostitutas, esclavas o peregrinas: Estereotipos femeninos en los relatos de viajeros musulmanes del Medievo

Abstract

Tries to outline, through several Muslim traveler’s narratives from the Middle Ages, the stereotypes they held on women, which conflicted with observed realities, both inside and outside the Islamic territory. At the same time the data collected shed light on the heterogeneous world women had access to after leaving their homeland.
