The Big Book of Women Saints

More about the book

Focusing on the often-overlooked contributions of women in the canonization process, this book highlights the lives of over 377 women saints, with a significant number canonized or beatified by Pope John Paul II since 1979. Among these, approximately 100 women lived in the twentieth century, showcasing a rich tapestry of contemporary female spirituality and martyrdom. By bringing attention to these figures, the book aims to balance the historical narrative of saints and celebrate the vital roles women have played in the church.
