medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
"Wise" seems also to be a term in need of definition, but I think your student
should also look at Alcuin Blamires works, but his monograph <I> the case for
women in medieval culture<I> and his source book <I>women defamed, women
defended<I> I think also Monica Green's work and others on women's health and
healing would be useful.
