In zehn Kapiteln kommen verschiedene Aspekte und Autor/innen zu Wort, wobei zunächst nach der Beurteilung von Gewalt gegen Frauen auch in Texten männlicher Autoren (Hartmann von Aue, Gottfried von Straßburg, Wolfram von Eschenbach) gefragt wird, die zwar Gewaltphänomene beschreiben, diese aber äußerst kritisch beurteilen. Weiterhin wird gezeigt, inwieweit Frauen in unterschiedlichen Genres eine eigenständige Identität entwickelten und sich in der Öffentlichkeit als Autoritäten positionieren konnten: Mystische Texte von Hildegard von Bingen, Marie de France und Margery Kempe, der didaktische Text Winsbeckin, die in südwestdeutschen Klöstern entstandenen Schwesternbücher, aber auch quasi-historische Dokumente wie die Aufzeichnungen der Helene Kottanner oder das Kochbuch Anna Weckerins belegen, dass erheblich mehr Frauen als bisher angenommen im Rampenlicht der Öffentlichkeit standen und sich mit ihren intellektuellen wie literarischen Leistungen selbstbewusst zu behaupten verstanden. The study takes the received view among scholars that women in the Middle Ages were faced with sustained misogyny and that their voices were seldom heard in public and subjects it to a critical analysis. The ten chapters deal with various aspects of the question, and the voices of a variety of authors - both female and male - are heard. The study opens with an enquiry into violence against women, including in texts by male writers (Hartmann von Aue, Gottfried von Straßburg, Wolfram von Eschenbach) which indeed describe instances of violence, but adopt an extremely critical stance towards them. It then proceeds to show how women were able to develop an independent identity in various genres and could present themselves as authorities in the public eye. Mystic texts by Hildegard of Bingen, Marie de France and Margery Kempe, the medieval conduct poem known as Die Winsbeckin, the Devout Books of Sisters composed in convents in South-West Germany, but also quasi-historical documents such as the memoirs of Helene Kottaner or Anna Weckerin's cookery book, demonstrate that far more women were in the public gaze than had hitherto been assumed and that they possessed the self-confidence to establish their positions with their intellectual and their literary achievements.
