Abstract
It is devoted to identifying the causes of the formation of Donna’s phenomenon in the courteous tradition and the essence of the cult of the Fair Lady as the foundation of troubadours’ poetry. The specificity of womenʼs position in society in the period of 10th–13th centuries has been revealed. The situation of woman in marriage and its alternatives have been considered. The directions of womenʼs activity in various areas of medieval life have been analysed: economy, politics, religion, art. The mechanisms of limitations of this activity have been discovered. The features of the position of women in the southern French region have been described. The interpretation of woman in the courteous literature has been reconstructed.
