Sheila Delany's translation of Osbern Bokenham's Legendys of Hooly Wummen makes available in modern English the first all-female hagiography. Closely translated from elaborate, Latinate Middle English verse, it contains the Augustinian friar's version of the stories of 13 women saints from gospel, apocrypha, martyrology, and high-medieval history.
