Hrotsvitha of Gandersheim
The Nun Who Wrote the First Medieval Plays
A nun with ink-stained hands and a voice for the saints.
In the quiet of the abbey’s scriptorium, I carve stories of faith and fire into vellum. Though the world may scoff at a woman’s pen, I write still — for truth, for God, for the strength of those who came before me.
What I'm Into: the scent of ink and vellum, the laughter of sisters, plays that challenge Rome, saints' martyrdoms, Cicero’s wisdom
