Summary An excellent introduction to some of the most fascinating women of the high Middle Ages. The women chosen represent well the great variety of religious creativity found during this period: Gertrude, living the traditional Benedictine monastic life but influenced by the new spirit of romanticism introduced by Bernard of Clairvaux; Angela, the wife and mother who became a Franciscan tertiary; Birgitta, noblewoman and foundress of a new mixed community of men and women; and Julian, the recluse who produced a remarkable work of theology.
