Infos

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.
