- Reposted by Parergon JournalSupernatural women in medieval literature seem to inhabit opposite ends of a moral spectrum: saints good, sorceresses bad. Kathryn Walton’s article in @parergon.bsky.social 42.1, though, shows that medieval images of female power were much more kaleidoscopic than we assume. muse.jhu.edu/pub/62/...
