Margaret's Monsters by Michael E Heyes
The various Lives of St. Margaret functioned as a blueprint for a virginal life and supernatural assistance to pregnant women during the dangerous process of labor. This book argues that the monsters Margaret encounters in her narrative are a key element in understanding her importance to her adherents.-
