Abstract: »In ‘Writing Consent: Notaries and Gendered Narratives in Late Medieval Scotland’, Mara Schmueckle explores how Scottish notaries shaped and presented consent according to particular purposes in their record books. Schmueckle establishes that consent was most often recorded when issues of property — the central concern of notaries — were at stake, indicating a concern not for the will of the woman but for property rights to be upheld.« (Source: Bonsall, Jane, and Hannah Piercy. »Introduction: Why Reconsider Medieval Consent and Coercion?
