Church Fathers, Independent Virgins New edition
Joyce Salisbury
Ascetic renunciation freed holy women of traditional womanly roles. Saints such as Mary of Egypt provoked the Church Fathers to introduce legislation to bring holy women under control. Salisbury traces these debates and legislation and contrasts them with the real lives of seven women saints.
