It is a characteristic merit of Richard Southern—recently voted the historians’ historian in The Observer—that as long ago as 1970, in Western Society and the Church, he devoted some luminous pages to ‘the influence of women in religious life’. Though these pages nestle in a chapter called ‘Fringe orders and anti-orders’, twenty years ago such labels were not pejorative. Southern made women emblematic of what could be called a pendulum-swing theory of medieval religious history. First came a primitive, earlier medieval age of improvization and individual effort, of spiritual warriors and local initiatives; the central medieval period saw ‘a drive towards increasingly well-defined and universal forms of organization’ in an age of hierarchy and order; then, in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, back swung the pendulum towards complexity and confusion, individual experiment, and ‘small, humble, shadowy organizations’.

17 Regino, De ecclesiasticis disciplinis, ii, cap. 175, PL 132, cols 317-18: ‘Ne sancdmoniales palatium et publicos conventus adeant’. Muliercula is used in a pejorative sense, regardless of class, in Jerome, Lettres, ed. J. Labourt (Paris, 1949), pp. 124, 140. (J. W. Drijvers kindly supplied these references.) In early medieval Latin, however, the term generally seems to imply lowly social status.

18 The date is given in Mansi, 18, at cols 165-6. J. Sirmond’s note at the bottom of col. 172 considers the dating problem. I am grateful to Julia Smith for help and correction on this point. See O. Pontal, Die Synoden der Merowingerreich (Paderborn, 1986), pp. 202-3, for references on the disputed date, and authenticity, of the alleged canons of Nantes.

19 Regino, Chronkon, sa 900, ed. F. Kurze, MGH. SRG (Hanover, 1890), p. 148, mentions conflict between King Zwentibold and his magnates, ‘quia cum mulieribus et ignobilioribus regni negotia disponens, honesriores… deiciebat’.

20 P. Brown, The Body and Society (California, 1989), p. 153, draws explicitly on C. Levi-Strauss (and the French ‘bonnes à penser’ is of course ambiguous: ‘good to think’/‘goods to think’). But note the latter’s defensive tone in The Elementary Structures of Kinship (London, 1968), p. 496: ‘Woman could never become just a sign and nothing more, since even in a man’s world she is still a person In contrast to words which have wholly become signs, woman has remained at once a sign and a value’; and idem, Structural Anthropology (Harmondsworth, 1977), p. 61: ‘It may be disturbing to some to have women conceived as mere parts of a meaningful system. However, one should keep in mind that… words do not speak, while women do; as producers of signs, women can never be reduced to die status of symbols or tokens’. Cf. S.J. Tambiah, ‘Animals are good to think and good to prohibit’, Ethnology, 8 (1969), pp. 424–59. For alternative views to Levi-Strauss’s, see S. B. Ortner, ‘Is female to male as nature is to culture?’ in M. Z. Rosaldo and L. Lamphere, eds, Woman, Culture and Society (Stanford, 1974), pp. 67–87, and M. Z. Rosaldo, The use and abuse of anthropology’, Signs, 5 (1980), pp. 389-417.

24 For the text, with an English translation, of Notier’s poem, In natale sanctarum feminarum, see Godman, P., Poetry of the Carolingian Renaissance (London, 1985), pp. 318’21 Google Scholar. Against the reading of Dronke, P., The Medieval Lyric (London, 1968), pp. 41’4 Google Scholar, Godman, pp. 65–7, argues that Notker wrote this sequence in praise of ‘Everyman’. My view is that Notker was using various female types, and the liturgical setting of the feasts of female saints and martyrs, ‘to think’ themes relevant to his fellow monks.

25 Dhuoda, Manuel pour mon fils, ed. P. Riché (Paris, 1975), ii, 3, lines 18-19, p. 126, makes no use whatsoever of any positive feminine stereotypes, biblical or otherwise.

32 For the scold in later medieval literature, see R. H. Bloch, ‘Medieval misogyny’, Representations, 20 (1987), pp. 1-27. Rare early medieval imputations of excessive wordiness to women in general may be found in the Sermons of Caesarius of Arles, ed. G. Morin, CChr.SL, 103 (‘953). pp. 243, 323. Gregory the Great, Dialogues, II, 23, 2–5, pp. 206-8, and IV, 53, 1-2, p. 178, ed. A. de Vogüé, SC, 260,265 (Paris, 1979,1980), pp. 206-8,178, tells stories of wordy women, but draws lessons that are not gender-specific. Aimoin, Historia translations S. Vincentii ex Hispania in Castrense Galliae monasterium, PL 126, cols 1011-12, describes a monk and a bishop fighting muliebriter for the saint’s relics, implying general lack of proper control rather than wordiness.

35 See below, p. 75, For the persisting interests of men in claims vested in female kin or transmitted through female benefactors, see my ‘Commentary’, in W. Affeldt, ed., Frauen in Spãtantike mid Friihmittelalter (Sigmaringen, 1990). Since such interests so often lie behind affirmations of the rights of particular women in early medieval legal documents, it seems questionable to infer that women (even among the landholding classes) could ‘dispose freely of their property’ and enjoyed ‘economic independence’: so, McNamara and Wemple, ‘The power of women through the family’, p. 93, but without a critical re-examination of any of the evidence. 1 hope to deal with this subject elsewhere. Meanwhile, to forestall too-ready acceptance of the general proposition of women’s ‘independent’ control of property, it is worth signalling E. Magnou-Nortier, ‘Ombres féminines dans l’histoire de Languedoc aux Xème et Xlème siècles’, Cahiers de civilisation médiévale (1990, forthcoming) (‘Même dans la haute aristocratie, les femmes donnent l’impression d’avoir été utilisées et absorbées par leurs lignages d’origine ou d’adoption. Leurs initiatives sont contrôlées; la part d’héritage dont elles disposent semble exiguë’); P. Stafford, ‘Women in Domesday’, in Medieval Women in Southern England — Reading Medieval Studies, 15 (Reading, 1989), pp. 75-94; and, from the perspective of a rather later period, when the practices of aristocrats and humbler folk can be compared, D.
