The OG feminine counterculture? They were laying down the truth about love in a time when women were often seen as ornamental. 

You've probably heard of medieval troubadours, but did you know there were female poets during this period as well? The trobairitz wrote about romantic love from a distinct, and much less idealized, perspective from that of their male counterparts. This lecture explores the works and lives of these trail-blazing female poets, as well as how their view of romantic love differed from that of the troubadours.
