Gertrud Jaron Lewis has a new book just out, on the "Sister-Books" written
by and about fourteenth-century German Dominican nuns: *By Women, for
Women, about Women: The Sister-Books of Fourteenth-Century Germany*.
Toronto: Pontifical Institute of Medieval Studies, 1996. The historical and
literary analysis is beautifully done, and the excerpts wonderful, revealing
the nuns' intellectual, spiritual, and theological values and the issues
that concerned them.
The book is available, of course, from the publisher, and should also be
available (at discount) at the Kalamazoo Congress on Medieval Studies.
