Medieval Women Mystics

Selected Spiritual Writings of Gertrude the Great, Angela of Foligno, Birgitta of Sweden, Julian of Norwich

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, Brigettines).
