Minor: Misogyny, Sexual content
fine for a book of its length (under 60 pages when notes are taken into account) and it does manage a fair amount of detail for what it is, but i was a little underwhelmed after [b:Sexism and God Talk: Toward a Feminist Theology|367714|Sexism and God Talk Toward a Feminist Theology|Rosemary Radford Ruether|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1388290667s/367714.jpg|357705], which fundamentally changed the way i see god and human society. obviously i wasn't expecting every book of ruether's to reach that level, but this is literally just biography, without any comment on why this phenomena was so prominent in the medieval ages (beyond just these three women), how this fits into the "golden thread" of prophetic tradition which is such an important part of ruether's exegesis or what these women's visions mean for christianity or the catholic church as a whole. probably better as an introduction to how women have wielded power and godliness through the history of christianity.
