Description:	In this book I explore some encounters between holy women and the clerics who associated with them. I examine closely a series of such cases—specifically nine pairs of men and women—in which the sources make possible a sustained look at what was at stake for those involved, especially for the men. In each of these instances the woman had a reputation for extraordinary supernatural experiences and powers, and each of the men was a monk or cleric who not only knew the woman well but also wrote some substantial piece of hagiography about her. In each instance, moreover—and this is what makes these nine pairs distinctive—the man wrote about the woman in such a way as to include himself extensively.
