The three Bethens with the golden spheres, Saint Margaret with the dragon, and Saint Catherine with the wheel: The well-known non-fiction author Erni Kutter guides us through the gallery of female religious and cultural history. The focus is on symbols, mythological backgrounds, cults, and the influence of feminine images that can still inspire women today. Often, frescoes and sculptures of these revered holy women in the entire Alpine region are not found in the main churches, but in small village chapels or large parish churches, as is the case in South Tyrol. The photos by Ida Prinoth encourage a new discovery of the holy women and make the book a companion through the sacred art of the late Middle Ages. What signs represent female power, eroticism, and wisdom? What role did mythical women play in the popular piety of the Alps?.
