The unusual topos of sisterhood as it is attested in her ''Lais'' would be one case study. In a male-dominated and oriented society, we typically find descriptions either of knights and warriors helping/saving their male companions, or of a fairy lady helping the knight errant, or the latter saving a damsel in distress. In the ''Lais'', there are some exceptional yet systematic cases of women helping other women. I will also show some other interesting and surprising cases of the inversion of stereotyped topoï of gender such as a lady instead of a knight who is engaged in an impossible mission, or a sleeping male beauty. I will treat these examples using comparative readings of similar occurrences in male writings.</td><td>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; font-size: smaller;">The paper seeks to present the particularly sensible way in which the medieval Anglo-Norman author, [http://neww.huygens.knaw.nl/authors/show/131 Marie de France], reworked gendered topoï which abound in the writing of her male contemporaries.
