My senior year of undergrad I did a fair amount of work on medieval and early modern women, so I can recommend a couple of works here. Caroline Walker Bynum is basically the pioneer in the field and has written some really great studies, like [Holy Feast and Holy Fast] (http://www.amazon.com/Holy-Feast-Fast-Significance-Historicism/dp/0520063295/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1335016290&sr=8-2) and [Jesus as Mother] (http://www.amazon.com/Jesus-Mother-Spirituality-Medieval-Renaissance/dp/0520052226/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1335016290&sr=8-8). These both deal with women and feminine imagery in the context of the medieval church, and specifically within monasticism. If you're looking for something a little closer to the Reformation and perhaps a bit more accessible, I'd recommend [The Burgermeister's Daughter] (http://www.amazon.com/The-Burgermeisters-Daughter-Scandal-Sixteenth-Century/dp/0060977213/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1335016083&sr=8-4) by Ozment.
