"Contributes not only to the study of women in religion but to the entire history of Euro-American radicalism. . . . This book represents one of the subtlest and most empathetic attempts yet to describe the inner spiritual life of a group of premodern European women."—Margaret Hunt, Women's Review of Books

"Phyllis Mack's thorough study of visionary women takes the discussion of female spirituality onto a higher plane."—Gender & History

"A pleasure to read."—Journal of Interdisciplinary History
