Our women have been recognized by the Vatican as Doctors of the Church and thus form a part of the magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church. Here, theologian Mary T. Malone explores the stories of these visionaries, introducing us to the wisdom of Hildegard of Bingen; the compassion of Catherine of Siena; the writings of Teresa of Ávila; and finally, the heartfelt “Little Way” of the much-loved Thérèse of Lisieux.

This timely and engrossing work brings to life the trials and triumphs of these inspiring women, whose bravery and intellectual prowess opened the door for new discussions on the role of women in the Church.
