Abstract

The patriarchal literature was the main strategy to feminine dislegitimation in the Medieval Age. This article analyzes the literary and medical discourses about the feminine sexuality through the patristic texts, treatises of medicine, the story Historia de la donzella Teodor and its reception by the women whose ideas and public activities questioned the sexual and social pattern in the Low Middle Ages.
