- Authors
Johnsson, Peter H.
- Abstract
The article discusses the case of St. Radegund, a woman whose writings like her letter De excidio Thuringiae show her use of her privileged status to manipulate gendered conventions. Topics include how the medieval archival records of St. Radegund's highlight female empowerment in medieval times, and how St. Radegund exploited familial connections to secure men's support to further her beliefs.
