Julian of Norwich (d. after 1416) was an #English "anchoress" (a hermit permanently enclosed in a cell in an urban setting) and #mystic known for recording visions which came to her when she was very sick. Her writings are apparently the earliest English-language texts known to be authored by a woman. Her writings were less important during her lifetime than her advice, and she was sought out by leaders, as well as by Margery Kempe (see next). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_of_Norwich #WomensHistoryMonth
