Medieval Women Mystics - Gertrude the Great, Angela of Foligno, Birgitta of Sweden, Julian of Norwich (Paperback)

While women's contribution to spirituality has often been overlooked or minimized in the past, there is a vital and growing interest in it today. "Medieval Women Mystics" presents essential writings of 4 women of the 13th and 14th centuries. This is essential reading for anyone interested in medieval and/or women's spirituality, church history, as well as persons associated with the religious orders represented by these mystics (Benedictines, Franciscans, and Brigettines).
