strong voice

Hrotsvitha! A German abbess (whose name means "strong voice") who wrote poetry and plays is more than enough to get me excited about the Middle Ages. Why don't they ever teach you the fun stuff when you're younger? I had to wait for Theatre 401 to get to her. Plus she wrote about ladies. Oh, and some scholars think she was the first playwright in Western culture since antiquity. Yes. March 20.
