Resumen
Despite centuries of debate about the medieval medical writers Trota and Hildegard,
there still remain widely disparate views of them in both popular and scholarly discourses.
Their alternate dismissal or romanticization is not due to a simple contest between
antifeminist and feminist tendencies. Rather, issues of gender have intersected in
varying ways with other agendas (intellectual, nationalist, etc.). Recent philological
researches have helped not only to clarify why these earlier interpretations were created
in the first place, but also to raise our understanding of these women and their work
to a new, higher level.
