Catherine, a feisty, outspoken and most unladylike 14-year-old living in the Middle Ages, chronicles her life over one year in a diary given to her by her brother in an attempt to make her more ladylike. Alas, alack, the plan does not work, but one does get to see what life in the middle ages was like, and how woman are subjected to a life full of dull tasks.
