The essay explores the concept of femininity in Old English female saints' lives, focusing on Mary of Egypt and Pelagia of Antioch, often labeled as harlot saints due to their sinful pasts. It analyzes how these figures reject their former promiscuous lifestyles and embrace piety, ultimately attracting devoted followers. This examination reveals the complexities of their transformation and the cultural implications of their stories within the context of sainthood and femininity in medieval literature.
