Is the VMS a work of female authors ?

[bi3mw]

I have recently read a blog post in which it is assumed that the VMS is a work of women. Addressees of the manuscript are also ( mainly ) women. This thesis raises a number of questions, here are some of them:

Are there coded works which were demonstrably created by women ?

Is it possible to deduce from the pictorial representation in the VMS in any way that the themes are primarily women-specific ?

Can the low number of depictions of male characters be explained by the assumption that mainly "women's issues" are dealt with?

What kind of topics can be addressed concretely ( for example bathing rules / hygiene ) ?

Which female authors would come into question in the period of origin of the VMS ?

To be clear, I think this thesis is rather questionable but at least worth to be discussed. Until now it seems to me to be an unspoken basic assumption that the VMS is a work of male authors.
