Skillfully interweaving historical fact with psychological insight and vivid imagination, Sharratt's redemptive novel brings to life one of the most extraordinary women of the Middle Ages: Hildegard von Bingen, Benedictine abbess, visionary, and polymath. Offered to the Church at the age of eight, Hildegard was entombed in a small room where she was expected to live out her days in silent submission as the handmaiden of a renowned but disturbed young nun, Jutta von Sponheim.

Teresa of Avila's Interior Castle is one of the most celebrated books ever written by a mystic on abiding in union with Christ. Writing in obedience to the requests of two of her superiors, the humble 16th century Spanish sister protests "...for the love of God, let me get on with my spinning and go to choir...like the other sisters...I am not meant for writing; I have neither the health nor the wits for it."

great introduction .. but too brief

this was a very brief introduction to the significance and work of Hildegard of Bingen. come to think about it , I got a lot from this hour and a half audio :her background , the overall atmosphere during her time , main challenges she faced and her contribution to music . I would have liked to know more about her contribution to medicine and alternative healing
I definitely recommend checking this out if the topic of women and religion interests you.
