Favorite women in history: 4/?

Sara de Sancto Aegidio

Sara de Sancto Aegidio (of St. Gilles) was a jewish female doctor who lived in Marseilles during the 14th century. She was the widow of a fellow physician named Avraham. Her existence is known through a contract written in 1326 between her and her student, Salvetus de Burgonoro of Salon de Provence. According to this document, Sara agreed to teach medicine and to “board, lodge and clothe” her student. In exchange, Salvetus had to give her all the fees he would receive from treating the patients during this period.

Favorite women in history:  1/?

Empress Theodora

Theodora (497-548) was the daughter of a bear-keeper. An actress and a prostitute, nothing predestinated her to become empress. Theodora left the Hippodrome, went to North Africa as the mistress of a civil servant, parted from him and returned home.

Then, she met the future emperor Justinian and married him. When her husband was crowned in 527, he insisted that Theodora should be made his equal and his co-ruler. Thus, Theodora embarked on the path of reform. 

Theodora worked to improve women’s rights. She made rape punishable by death, improved women’s financial security and suppressed the authority that the brothel owners keepers kept over prostitutes. She also tried to improve the prospects of prostitutes who wanted to start a new life.

She showed great courage during the Nika riots in 532. Theodora persuaded the emperor not to flee, but to fight. She reportedly said:

“I do not care whether or not it is proper for a woman to give brave counsel to frightened men; but in moments of extreme danger, conscience is the only guide. Every man who is born into the light of day must sooner or later die; and how can an Emperor ever allow himself to become a fugitive? If you, my Lord, wish to save your skin, you will have no difficulty in doing so. We are rich, there is the sea, there too are our ships. But consider first whether, when you reach safety, you will not regret that you did not choose death in preference. As for me, I stand by the ancient saying: royalty makes the best shroud.”

Theodora was also involved in a number of political intrigues and mercilessly disposed of her political opponents. She died in 548, probably of cancer.

Favorite dramas: first half of 2021

Here are my favorite dramas (all cdramas except one) among those I watched during the first half of 2021!

-Beyond the realm of conscience

A good vintage palace drama. The plot was fast-paced and I enjoyed the schemes and the rivalries of the different women working in the palace. The main characters and the antagonists are a bit too one-dimensional, but I found the story enjoyable nonetheless.

-Schemes of a beauty

Aaaah ! J’avais hâte qu’il sorte ! Le résumé donne tellement envie :

“In 2017, DNA tests revealed to the collective shock of many scholars that a Viking warrior in a high-status grave in Birka, Sweden was actually a woman. The Real Valkyrie weaves together archaeology, history, and literature to imagine her life and times, showing that Viking women had more power and agency than historians have imagined. Nancy Marie Brown uses science to link the Birka warrior, whom she names Hervor, to Viking trading towns and to their great trade route east to Byzantium and beyond. She imagines her life intersecting with larger-than-life but real women, including Queen Gunnhild Mother-of-Kings, the Viking leader known as The Red Girl, and Queen Olga of Kyiv. 

Hervor's short, dramatic life shows that much of what we have taken as truth about women in the Viking Age is based not on data, but on nineteenth-century Victorian biases. Rather than holding the household keys, Viking women in history, law, saga, poetry, and myth carry weapons. These women brag, "As heroes we were widely known--with keen spears we cut blood from bone." In this compelling narrative Brown brings the world of those valkyries and shield-maids to vivid life.”

Date de sortie : Le 31 août. ça va, je n’aurais pas trop à attendre ;)

Favorite Chinese dramas 2020 edition

I’m a bit late, but here are my favorite Chinese dramas among those I watched in 2020, in no particular order.

-The Story of Yanxi Palace

My favorite cdrama so far and one of my favorite shows as well. This drama is fast-paced and has a perfect balance between emotion and light-hearted moments. It’s a bittersweet story, yes, but never too dark. There’s always a glimmer of hope. The protagonist is awesome, she’s clever, angry, vengeful and yet fallible. Watching her overcome the obstacles in the palace is delightful. I also liked the emphasis put on female friendship and sisterhood. 

-Legend of Lu Zhen/Female prime minister
