More about Margery Kempe

"A married woman who attempted to live a life
devoted to Christ, Margery sought official Church
recognition for her status as a spiritual woman
and mystic, while continuing to live and travel in
the secular world. She experienced intense
emotional visionary encounters with Christ"
