Visions And Longings by Monica Furlong
Medieval Women Mystics
A vivid exploration of medieval women mystics, tracing how figures such as Hildegard of Bingen, Clare of Assisi, Hadewijch, Mechthild of Magdeburg, Angela of Foligno, Catherine of Siena, Julian of Norwich, and Margery Kempe navigated desire, authority, and faith. Blending biography, history, and close reading, it shows how their visions, ascetic practices, and often defiant voices challenged church and social norms, forged new language for spiritual experience, and left a lasting legacy on Christian thought and women’s religious expression.
