The iron maiden as defined by yahoo! Education (and various other sources)
NOUN: A medieval instrument of torture consisting of an iron frame in the form of a person in which the victim was enclosed and impaled on interior spikes.
So the victim was enclosed in a device in the shape of a woman. So here is an idea of what an iron maiden looked like back in the day
