La "Vita Cristi" di Isabel de Villena [Isabel de Villena, a Franciscan nun, was the first woman to write an entire religious work in Catalan prose. Her "Life of Christ" reports only episodes which involve women witnesses.

This vision of harmony reverses the evil done by Eve and contradicts misogynist writings by men. Title note supplied by Feminae.].
