Women could not attend university in the Middle Ages, so how were they connected to these institutions of higher education? By considering the networks that formed and intertwined with university life, women can be found as active participants within the intellectual sphere. We find some individuals as players in the scholarly circles contributing to the most recent debates, and even as scholars and lecturers achieving and providing higher education. Women contributed as scribes, creating the textbooks used by university men. Female authors and characters of exercise books featured in university book collections, from core medical texts in college libraries to the female voices in grammar exercises. Women also contributed to literary life as donors, performing patronage through gifts of books. Finally, we can look to court cases for indirect evidence of involvement in intellectual culture, where women were prosecuted for being untrained or heretical. This entry gives insight into the ongoing research into the experience of women connected to university networks.
