Abstract

By investigating the history of the late medieval image of St. Anne Teaching the Virgin Mary, I show that this image should be associated with female literacy, and specifically with the role of mothers as teachers of their daughters. I suggest that representations of women with books in medieval art have been overlooked, so that their implication for female literacy has been neglected.
