Selected and translated by Joan M. Petersen

Throughout the Christian world, women have chosen to lead disciplined lives of prayer and asceticism. Descriptions of early role-models Macrina, the two Paulas and Melanias, Radagunde, and others by contemporaries, usually men, provide details of their austerities, their aspirations, and their relationship with the Church and the world.
