 The Beguines
Others have suggested that "Beguine" is a derivative of "Albigensian",[4] a reference to mendicancy,[5] or to St. Begga (Bowie 13; Hart 3; McDonnell 431), or to the characteristic gray color of the Beguine habit (Hart 3; cf.

Beguines are lay sisterhoods made up of women who devote themselves to a life of religion without taking monastic vows.
They began in the Netherlands, although the origin of the word is uncertain — it may come from a Flemish word meaning "to pray," or possibly from Lambert le Bègue, a priest of Liège who died around 1187 and who may have founded the sisterhood, or it may even be related to the word Albigensian.
They were more recognizable in urban settings than the major monastic orders, who mostly lived in rural areas, and were known for their kind attentions to the poor, the ill, and the dying.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Beguines, Beghards
The Beguine could hardly be called a nun; she took no vows, could return to the world and wed if she would, and did not renounce her property If she was without means she neither asked nor accepted alms, but supported herself by manual labour, or by teaching the children of burghers.
If, as a recent writer has it, "the medieval towns of the Netherlands found in the Beguinage a solution of their feminine question", the establishment of these communities afforded them at least a partial solution of another problem which pressed for an answer: the difficult problem of how to deal with the worn-out workingman.
They were condemned by the Council of Vienne (1312), but this sentence was mitigated by John XXII (1321), who permitted the Beguines, as they had mended their ways, to resume their mode of life.

His effort to establish the Beguines as an official order also underscored his need to apply at least some structure to the "between-ness" of their form of piety: the Beguines could find a legitimate place in the Church, but its boundaries had to be clearly defined.
In many areas in northern Europe, Beguines lived communally in a convent-like setting called a beguinage, where they followed a strict group of statutes, and were usually not allowed to leave without permission from their superior.
Such a gender-focused look at the Beguines, as the first "women's movement" in Christian history, may be used as a tool for scholars of all persuasions who wish to investigate the role of women in reformist or revolutionary movements--whether religious, social, or political.

 Beguine Paper
            The Beguine movement, rising in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, being the only female association conceived, run and populated by women and unaffiliated with any religious order of their time, can be posed a physical image of Church activity at large and specifically, the female religious status during and leaving the High Middle Ages.

The Beguine is a dance, similar to a slow Rumba, that was very modestly popular in the 1930s, coming from the islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique, where the Martinique Beguine is a slow close dance with a roll of hips.
Then all the Big Bands recorded it: Harry James, Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, and it became such a classic that the painter Max Beckmann adopted the title for a painting in 1946 (now at University of Michigan Museum of Art), which might be closer in spirit to Charlie Parker's version.
In 1998 the title was taken for a forgettable sentimental fantasy romance film directed by Raymond DeFelitta that starred Elijah Wood.

Forrest sang with two other great bands of the era, Benny Goodman and Harry James, but she was at her best with Shaw's band: her voice was simply a perfect fit for the musicians, and she seemed to understand exactly what they were all about.
But the big hit of this band was "Begin the Beguine," which Shaw `rescued' from a failed Cole Porter musical and turned into three minutes of the best American music ever recorded.
This beautiful jazz performance both swings and croons, and even though Shaw later referred to the piece as an "anchor around my neck" because of its huge popularity, I think any musician would be proud to have such an incredible number so closely connected to him.
