President's Lecture | James Hankins

The old saying that 'behind every successful man is a good woman,' now regarded as hopelessly sexist, has a great deal of resonance in the history of Christian societies.

In fact, without good Christian women, late ancient and medieval Christendom would have been much less successful, less peaceful and cooperative, and much smaller in geographical extent. This lecture will tell the stories of the extraordinary but little-known women who changed the history of Christendom by changing the hearts of men.
