Espejos femeninos de la mujer medieval

Resumo

The ordinary development of femenine life in the Middle Ages just flowed among monotony, boredom and lack of hope, due to their disadvantaged social rank in a world ruled by men. Under those circumstances, a number of women, generally religious, appeared. They contributed to improve the inner world of the femenine collectivity with a series of literary works, in which they provided different ways of understanding the highest Love. It was through those books that a way out as a light at the end of the tunnel was offered to the femenine community. That was a kind of a mirror on which they could contemplate both their indolence situation together with the foresight of new solutions, just as a result of reading and the knowledge of their intellectual cutting-edge theories at the time.
