The love of looking is a common motif among female figures in medieval art and literature where it is usually expressed as a motherly or sexually interested gaze - one sanctioned, the other forbidden. Sandra Summers investigates these two variants of female voyeurism in exemplary didactic and courtly literature by medieval German authors.
