Is the VMS a work of female authors ?
Perhaps I am reading too much into this, but I think I have discovered some references to the Beguines in the VMS. Admittedly, they are only single fragments that one would still have to put into a meaningful context.

Spinning and weaving was one of the occupations of the Beguines to earn a living. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. , You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. & f85r2
   
   

Caring for the sick and preparing the dead was another area of work. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.    

In addition, the Beguines also worked as midwives. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.    

By the way, if the nymphs are souls, then it is understandable that they are naked.

As I said, I am far from providing solid evidence.
