Hrotsvitha's verse on many of the plays gives her the honor of being the only female poet in Europe after ancient Greek, Sappho. Drama has been seen as a cultural form during the classical era which was discouraged by Christian hierarchy. In the twelfth century there was not many playwrights besides Hrothsvitha. In the early 1970s female prostitution plays were written more by women play writers than male. Hrotsvit of Gandersheims wrote three plays about position which have been excluded by the western drama. Western theater claims that her plays of prositition fail to inspire the dramatic imitators. The significance of her plays is also overlooked 23 because their dramatically diverges from what Sue-Ellen Case and Jill Dolan theorize as the male values of good playwriting
