Women's Lives recalls and celebrates the work of Elizabeth Petroff, an eminent scholar of Medieval Women Mystics, by proposing that the lives of medieval women may be read as models of positive transgression. Their representation and reception make powerful arguments for equality, agency and authority on behalf of the writers who employed them.
What medieval women writers, readers, and characters reveal about gender in the Middle Ages.
The ubiquity of womens voices among the medieval canon demands a reevaluation of womens place in medieval culture. Womens Lives reveals that the reception of women in medieval literature, often models of political transgression, suggests that women embodied more radical equality, agency, and authority than we commonly understand. Contributors explore the lives and stories of well-known medieval women, such as Hildegard of Bingen and Teresa of Cartagena, as well as lesser-known women such as Al-Kahina and Liang Hongyu.
