Books:
1. Holy Feast and Holy Fast: The Religious Significance of Food to Medieval Women, by Caroline Walker Bynum
Other Miscellaneous Mentions:
1. Here's the Wikipedia page for Old Occitan (OOc). (It's not as closely related to French as I implied; it's in the Romance family, but that's about it.)
2. If you're interested in female humanists during the Renaissance, my two favorites are Isotta Nogarola and Laura Cereta.
3. Hildegard of Bingen is certainly among my favorite medieval women. There's a good brief biography of her over at Fordham's online medieval sourcebook. The illumination I mentioned, from her first visionary work, the Scivias (from "Scito Vias Domini," Know the Ways of the Lord), can be viewed here (I was mistaken; the tongues of flame, representing God, actually go to her eyes and ears, not eyes and mouth). She did indeed found two monasteries, one at Rupertsburg and one at Eibingen. Here's one of her songs about St. Ursula -- she wrote more songs about St. Ursula than about any other saint besides Mary. If anyone's interested in the story of St. Ursula, she was martyred with her band of 11,000 virgins. Her relics were located during Hildegard's life, and another mystic, Elisabeth of Schonau, had a vision that confirmed that these were, indeed, the relics of St. Ursula. Interestingly, Hildegard and Elisabeth exchanged letters, a handful of which survive.
4. I also mentioned the Fish Lips Kiss heel, designed by SoxTherapist and available for $1 on Ravelry.
