The Forgotten Desert Mothers by Laura Swan
In introducing readers to the sayings, lives, stories, and spirituality of women in the early Christian desert and monastic movement, the author finally sets the record straight that women played an important, influential role in early Christianity. The book journeys between desert, monastery, and city to reveal the stories of ascetics and solitaries whose stories rarely are heard.Laura Swan, OSB, holds doctorate degrees in theology and spirituality and works as a writer and spiritual guide. She is the author of Engaging Benedict: What the Rule Can Teach Us Today (Christian Classics, 2005), and she is a member and past prioress of Saint Placid Priory in Lacey, Washington.
