To dismantle a colonizing culture, they made public the private feminine space allocated by gender difference: they constructed 'unhomely' spaces. They inverted gender roles of characters to valorize the female; they created alternate idealized feminist societies and cultures, or utopias, through fantasy; and they legitimized female triviality the homely female space to provide autonomy. While these methodologies often overlapped in practice, they illustrate how cultures impinge on languages to create what Deleuze and Guattari have identified as a minor literature, specifically for women as dis-placed. Women writers discussed include Hrotsvit of Gandersheim, Hildegard of Bingen, Marie de France, Marguerite Porete, Catherine of Siena, Margery Kempe, Julian of Norwich, and Christine de Pizan. 410 0$aNew Middle Ages (Palgrave Macmillan (Firm)) 606 $aLiterature, Medieval$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen and literature$zEurope$xHistory$yTo 1500 615 0$aLiterature, Medieval$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 676 $a809/.9335220902 700 $aChance$b Jane$f1945-$0188272 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784796403321 996 $aThe literary subversions of medieval women$93725191 997 $aUNINA
