What makes for the ideal woman? How should she look, love and be? In this vibrant, high-spirited history, medievalist Eleanor Janega turns to the Middle Ages, the era that bridged the ancient world and modern society, to unfurl its suppositions about women and reveal what's shifted over time-and what hasn't. Enshrined medieval thinkers, almost always male, subscribed to a blend of classical Greek and Roman philosophy and Christian theology for their concepts of the sexes. For the height of female attractiveness, they chose the mythical Helen of Troy, whose imagined pear shape, small breasts, and golden hair served as beauty's epitome. Casting Eve's shadow over medieval women, they derided them as oversexed sinners, inherently lustful, insatiable and weak. And, unless a nun, a woman was to be the embodiment of perfect motherhood. In contrast, drawing on accounts of remarkable and subversive medieval women like Eleanor of Aquitaine and Hildegard of Bingen, along with others hidden in documents and court cases, Janega shows us how real women of the era lived. While often mothers, they were industrious farmers, brewers, textile workers, artists and artisans and paved the way for new ideas about women's nature, intellect and ability. In The Once and Future Sex, Janega unravels the restricting expectations on medieval women and the ones on women today. She boldly questions why, if our ideas of women have changed drastically over time, we cannot reimagine them now to create a more equitable future.

My dog won't touch anything else
Flavor Name: Chicken
Suffice it to say I have full bags of other chicken jerky treats. They're open. They're also full. She won't touch anything else. She loves Pawmate and Pawmate only.

Origin of product
Flavor Name: Chicken
I ordered these for my 12year old pup a few months ago and continued ordering bc he loves them. I may have reviewed these treats in the past…I cut them into small pieces to last a little longer as they are expensive. They always smell like as I think they should. However, I finally took some time to read the ingredients and saw that these are radiation treated, which supposedly is safe, but questionable if it’s from China. Now I’m hesitant to order them again. I admit he seems fine after eating them but I’m afraid what could happen in the long run. Just my thoughts.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolute Game Changer for Active Toddlers! If you have a little one who treats diaper changes like a wrestling match, you need the Pampers Cruisers 360. We switched a few months ago, and I honestly can’t imagine going back to traditional taped diapers. Here is why they are a staple in our household: * The "Gap-Free" Fit: The 360-degree stretchy waistband is genius. It fits snugly around the tummy and back, which has completely eliminated those dreaded "blowouts" during playtime or naps. * Easy On, Easy Off: Putting these on is as simple as pulling up a pair of pants. When it’s time for a change, you just tear the Easy-Tear Sides, roll it up, and use the built-in disposal tape. It makes mid-runway-escape changes actually possible. * Skin Friendly: My toddler has somewhat sensitive skin, but we’ve had zero issues with rashes. They are incredibly soft—almost like real underwear—and breathe really well. * Serious Absorbency: Even with a heavy wetter, these hold up overnight without leaks. The Dual Leak-Guard Barriers around the legs are the unsung heroes here. Bottom line: They are perfect for the "crawler-to-walker" transition. They stay in place no matter how much climbing or sprinting is happening. Definitely worth every penny for the peace of mind (and the saved outfits)!
