Marija Karbić, Women on the Wrong Side of the Law. Some Examples from Medieval Urban Settlements of the Sava and Drava Interamnium

The article concentrates on the ways in which women from the medieval urban settlements of the Sava and Drava interamnium came into conflict with the law by various criminal actions, from insults or brawls to abortion and murder. She connects those problems with the economic situation of these women, basing the analysis mainly on theft and prostitution cases. The women were sometimes punished severely, but sometimes pardoned or punished minimally.
