Janina Ramirez
Medieval Mystical Women: From Julian of Norwich to Hildegard of Bingen.
Who were the women who shaped medieval Europe? Queens and warriors often spring to mind. Yet some of the most powerful women of the Middle Ages were in fact mystics. Women who often led a life locked away in convents yet whose influence shaped nations.
In a brand new talk, Janina Ramirez, bestselling Femina author and star of BBC2’s Raiders of the Lost Past, explores their remarkable lives. From Hildegard of Bingen to Julian of Norwich, Bridget of Sweden to Margery Kempe, she offers a groundbreaking new perspective on these women whose influence on the art and society of medieval Europe was profound and still endures today.
