Hrosvitha

 or Roswitha

(born c. 935—died c. 1000) German writer, regarded as the first German woman poet. Of noble birth, she lived as a nun in a Benedictine convent most of her life. There she wrote six prose comedies in Latin (c. 960), based in form on those of Terence but embodying Christian themes, to edify her fellow nuns. She also wrote narrative poems based on Christian legends and two verse chronicles.
