Bérat explores strategies of writing and illustration that creatively and purposefully depict womens legacies. Genealogy, used to justify a characters present power and project it onto the future, was crucial to medieval political, literary, and historical thought. While patrilineage often limited women to exceptional or passive roles, other genealogical forms that represent and promote womens claims are widespread in medieval texts.
