About this book
Open Access
This collective volume investigates the connection between women’s holiness and the notion of time from a diachronic perspective. By looking at temporality as intertwined with the construction of social and gendered roles, the volume analyses narratives related to the varying articulation of female authority, considered against the wider background of Christian ideals of holiness between early Christianity and Byzantium.
