Women's engagement with the powerful medieval ideal of virginity is reflected in the saints' lives written by and for women in twelfth and thirteenth-century England. This book explores the usefulness of the virgin ideal for widows, wives, and women in religion and is the first book-length study of women writers in England at this period.
