WOMEN MYSTICS OF THE MEDIEVAL ERA
(12th - 14th Centuries)

In the Middle Ages there was a flowering of illustrious women mystics whose spiritual genius is unparalleled in Western history: Hildegard of Bingen, Clare of Assisi, Mechtild of Magdeburg, Hadewijch of Antwerp, Marguerite Porete, Julian of Norwich and Catherine of Siena.

Today, more than ever, the lives of these women and their profound understanding of the meaning of life cross the boundaries of time and find an echo in our own lives.
