Appearance• Appearance of women was very important in the middle ages. • Females aged quickly due to numerous child births throughout their
lives. • Women normally had bad teeth and bleeding gums due to lack of
vitamin C. • Dyeing of the hair was popular to create a younger look. It was
created with ingredients such as saffron, Cumin seed, celandine, and oil.
• Women applied face make-up to create a pale look. A pale completion was a sign that their family was wealthy enough to be protected from the elements. They desired this look so much, they would bleed to achieve this. Face make-up was made out from plant roots and sometimes leaves.

Poem About Medieval Women"Women are Worthy"
I am as swift as ang roe;To praise women wher'er I go ;To dispraise women it is a shame, For a woman was you dame: Our Blessed Lady bears the name Of all women wher'er they go. A woman is worthy thing: They do the wash and do the wring; "Lullay, lullay," she does you sing, And yet he has but care and woe. A woman is a worthy wight: She serves a man both day and night;
Thereto she puts all her might,And yet she has but care and woe. (Taken from: Goldberg, 1995)
