Within your hands is a rare piece of literature, not simply because it discusses “women” but that a woman, living a vowed celibate life, wrote it and yet you can feel her yearning and intensity for what she will never be nor experience. This work is written at time when females were not considered an equal with their male counterparts, something, which this writer not only defies, but is also, and quite skillfully, dissect T. Aquinas, and interject Bonaventure’s intentions, with Augustinian overtures. This work is densely written; it will and should take a more concerted effort to appreciate. It is well written, keenly articulated and skillfully crafted upon some of the Christian Churches greatest orators.
