Untitled
A page on the topic of "Medieval Singlewomen" does not exist on Wikipedia.

Some valuable sources to include:

http://www.upenn.edu/pennpress/book/135.html - Singlewomen in the European Past: This book explores the role and position of European singlewomen (1250-1800) in society.

https://muse.jhu.edu/journals/journal_of_womens_history/v022/22.2.vicinus.html - The Single Woman: Social Problem or Social Solution? by Martha Vicinus

Within our new page, we plan to discuss:

- the definition of singlewomen

- the demographics/prevalence of singlewomen in medieval society

- the role of singlewomen in medieval society

- the social status of medieval singlewomen (how did others view these singlewomen?)

- the economic power of singlewomen

Initial Review
Given that this article is being group-edited, I'll hold off on edits, however: Hydronium Hydroxide (talk) 16:02, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Sequential repeated instances of WP:Inline citation may be able to be omitted, however if the pages differ significantly, see Help:References and page numbers.
 * Avoid WP:Editorial phrases such as "We also know that", "we can assume", "is detrimental to the understanding of", "Interestingly enough", etc.
 * Much of the "Singlehood and slavery" section should probably fold into Slavery in medieval Europe.
 * The article seems to be exclusively about European women. Should the title be changed to reflect this, or the scope expanded? FunkMonk (talk) 20:41, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
