This book deals with 10 of the most powerful women in the Catholic Church of yesterday and today, showing how they suffered rejection and discrimination because of their sex and how they overcame difficulties to make vital contributions.

Here are some of them from the list:

  • Saint Clare of Assisi - Sister Moon to Francis’ brother Sun. Foundress of the poor. Clare's miracle of the Eucharist.
  • Saint Clare of Montefalco - Mystic. Read how they found the crucified Lord and see the means of crucifixion they found in her heart. Incorrupt body.
  • Saint Catherine of Siena - Doctor of the Church. Stigmatist mystic who brought papacy back to Rome. Mystically married to Jesus.
  • Saint Rita of Cascia - Role Model for women of every generation. Saint of the impossible. Incorrrupt body.
  • Saint Teresa of Avila - Reformer of the Carmelites. Doctor of the Church. Mystic. Transverberation of the heart.
  • Saint Bernadette - Visionary of Lourdes. Incorrupt body.
  • Saint Thérèse of Lisieux. Doctor of the Church. Saint of the little way. Spends her time in heaven doing good on Earth.
