The book explores the lives and contributions of six notable women from the medieval period, specifically focusing on their roles as writers, mystics, or influential figures within their societies. It seeks to highlight their achievements in a time when women's contributions were often overlooked or undervalued.  The opening of the work sets the stage for a thoughtful examination of medieval womanhood, drawing attention to historical silences that have obscured the experiences of women during this era. It discusses the limited documentation of women's lives, emphasizing the importance of examining few recorded instances, such as those of Roswitha, Marie de France, and Christine de Pisan, to understand the broader societal roles women played. Kemp-Welch uses these figures to illustrate how women navigated the constraints of their time, often through creativity and intellect, while also hinting at their significant, albeit often informal, impacts on their communities and cultures.
