Jean Gerson and Gender examines the deployment of gendered rhetoric by the influential late medieval politically active theologian, Jean Gerson (1363-1429), as a means of understanding his reputation for political neutrality, the role played by royal women in the French royal court, and the rise of the European witch hunts.

Nancy McLoughlin is currently Assistant Professor of History at the University of California, Irvine, USA. She has published four articles on Parisian theologian Jean Gerson (1363-1429). She has also taught at the University of New Mexico, USA.
