medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

Hi All.  I am trying to track down an exemplum in which a noblewoman
invites a Dominican to preach in her chapel.  His sermon dwells on the
wickedness of women and she finally stands up and tells him to stop
denigrating her sex.  The reference I have is to Etienne de Bourbon, but
the page number is wrong, and I have not been able to find it just by
leafing through the book.  Does the story ring a bell with anyone?  Thanks
for any help you can provide.
Best,
