University Of Chicago Press claimed In this remarkable study of over 2,200 female and male saints, Jane Schulenburg explores women´s status and experience in early medieval society and in the Church by examining factors such as family wealth and power, patronage, monasticism, virginity, and motherhood. The result is a unique depiction of the lives of these strong, creative, independent-minded women who achieved a visibility in their society that led to recognition of sanctity.´A tremendous piece of scholarship. . . . This journey through more than 2,000 saints is anything but dull. Along the way, Schulenburg informs our ideas regarding the role of saints in the medieval psyche, gender-specific identification, and the heroics of virginity.´ —Library Journal´[This book] will be a kind of ´roots´ experience for some readers. They will hear the voices, haunted and haunting, of their distant ancestors and understand more about themselves.´ —Christian Science Monitor´This fascinating book reaches far beyond the history of Christianity to recreate the ´herstory´ of a whole gender.´ —Kate Saunders, The Independent
