Does anyone out there find these as amusing as I do? I may one day write my own material about them, rather than just copying others', but right now I'm just gathering material. I think they're fascinating from a feminist perspective: as real women, whose lives got channeled through a patriarchal remembrance, and as characters, whose stories have had meaning to both men and women, over a wide variety of times and cultural contexts. (remembering Mary Daly)
Citing the writings of women (e.g. Proba) is an attempt to document the paucity of orthodox women theologians. I know of maybe a dozen, and half of those are living.

naamah, have you seen any women writing (or scribing) in syriac?
Does anyone know of resources from the "Nestorian" and "monophysite" churches regarding women saints and theologians?
