Original title: Nobleza y Feminidad en la Georgia Medieval: Tinatín y Nestán

Published in Aristocracy and nobility in the Ancient and Medieval World

Keywords: Femininity, Medieval Georgia, Medieval Literature, Nobility, Rusthaveli.

The purpose of this work is to analyze the picture of the Georgian noble women, that Shotha Rusthaveli make (12th-13th centuries). I will focus my study on two princesses: Thinatin and Nestan; because they are two main characters in The Knight in the Panther’s Skin.
