*Genre:* Documentary In Rome today is the street known as Vicus
Papissa, 'the street of the woman pope'. In that avenue is an alcove
in which it is said an image of Joan once stood, in memory of the spot
where she gave birth. The street runs between St Peter's and the
Lateran to the Coliseum and was part of the processional route of all
popes in Rome until the 13th Century, when it was suddenly redirected
away from the location of Joan's legendary procession. Some scholars
believe that the official route was changed so that the new pope
wouldn't have to pass the notorious site. No contemporary 9th century
accounts of a female pope exist, but with no conclusive proof to the
contrary, the possibility remains that a talented woman could have
risen to become Bishop of Rome? The words of the first writer to
account for Joan, Jean de Mailly, resound even more loudly today than
they did centuries ago; next to his story of Joan, he wrote the words,
'to be verified'.
