The term "Trobairitz" refers to female poets and musicians from the Occitan region during the Middle Ages. They were active primarily in the 12th and 13th centuries, composing and performing troubadour songs that often focused on themes of love and chivalry. Trobairitz played a significant role in the cultural landscape of their time, contributing to the rich tradition of courtly love literature. Unlike their male counterparts, the troubadours, Trobairitz often expressed their perspectives on love and relationships from a woman's viewpoint. Notable Trobairitz include Beatriz de Dia and Clara d'Anduza, whose works have survived and provide insight into the lives and thoughts of women in medieval society.
