“…By allowing women's agency to reflect wisdom and inspire other people's salvation, the poet promotes the view that “God gave women the power of speech so that they might serve Him” (Niebrzydowski, 2020, p. 335), thus empowering women to “offer a fruitful alternative to the inherent decay of male‐centered reproduction” (Waters, 2020, p. 451). Also, he “crafts an elaborate female textual subjectivity” (Renevey, 2020, p. 354) and “opens the narrative up to the possibility of salvation rather than closing it down in visions of necrophilic pain” (Magnani & McAvoy, 2020, p. 318). This approach complies neither with the medieval belief that women are “passive or, worse, deforming vessels of male seed” (Waters, 2020, p. 450) nor with Saint Paul's patriarchal principle that “a woman should learn in quietness and full submission […] she must be silent” (1 Timothy 2:12).…”
