Women’s religious movements in the Middle Ages can be approached in various ways, not only as a part of religious movements but also as a part of feminism and medieval Christianity. Even if Grundmann’s work focuses on religious culture, instead of institution and doctrines, his view seems to represent the perspective of Catholic clerical historians: regarding women’s religious movements as a part of heretical movement. Therefore, we need to reconstruct women’s religious movement from the perspective of gender and philosophy of religion in terms of feminist philosophy with women’s own eyes. This approach leads women’s religious movement to be interpreted as a self-expression of women’s subjectivity and spirituality. When we use the notion of gendered space, a new approach to women’s religious movement can be suggested; namely, feminist philosophical investigation on women’s religious movement in the Middle Ages in terms of gendering. Gendering is quite important to understand women’s role and functions in Christianity in the Middle Ages. From the perspective of gendering women’s religious movements in the Middle Ages, all the significant movements of the Middle Ages can share their commitment to the aim of improving souls, in terms of subjectivity and spirituality.
Abstract

Therefore, we need to reconstruct women’s religious movement from the perspective of gender and philosophy of religion in terms of feminist philosophy with women’s own eyes.
