“By contrast, no medieval manuscript of Julian of Norwich's Long Text' of the Revelations of Divine Love - the earliest work in English written by a woman - survives. We are largely reliant on copies made by exiled Benedictine nuns in the seventeenth century. This is equally unsurprising: Julian was a female writer whose unusual theology was sometimes at odds with contemporary Church teaching”. :(
