Medieval Women Monastics

Medieval Women Monastics makes women's monastic tradition come alive in uniquely gifted women of prayer and action. It presents in English the rich monastic legacy of women religious
by gathering the life stories of outstanding medieval women monastics.

Written by eighteen contemporary Benedictine women authors from thirteen religious communities in the United States, England, and Australia, this work tells of the surprisingly varied accomplishments of medieval foresisters, most of whom are rarely acknowledged by historians for their wisdom and contributions to
their culture.
