The ÂÌñÒùÆÞ Jane Hibbard Idema Women' Studies Center presents its 8th annual
tea and lecture on Friday, January 30 from 12:30 to 1:20 p.m. in the Loutit Room of
Wege Student Center. Anne Clark Bartlett, Ph.D., director of the master of arts in

address entitled, "Arms and Woman: Gender and Governance in Late Medieval England."

Bartlett's areas of specialization include: medieval English literature, and literary theory and research methods. Bartlett also presents on and writes about literature by and for medieval women.
