The author pays attention to its special role in establishing the authority of people of the Church, of both genders, and the position of the queen. He demonstrates that it is in the very context of the virginity that their special relationship with the Virgin Mary should be understood, for she was regarded as the first of the holy virgins and their queen. This is accompanied by the question about the relation between virginity and gender, and thus about its significance for the spirituality of men and women as well as models of sanctity offered to them.}, type={Text}, title={Święte dziewictwo, Królowa dziewic i władza w ottońskiej Rzeszy}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl/Content/71572/PDF/WA303_93512_A52-KH-R-125-4_Pac.pdf}, volume={125}, number={4}, journal={Kwartalnik Historyczny}, publisher={Instytut Historii im.
