This medieval history of survival as a site of spiritual transcendence and political critique continues to shape the terms of contemporary discussions about gender, rape, and survival"-- "From devotional literature that idealizes wives' submission to unwanted sex to political narratives that frame women's survival of sexual violence as a model for a just monarch, medieval texts propose that survivors of sexual violence have privileged moral, ethical, and spiritual insight.
