A collection of letters and documents from the third to the fifth centuries, celebrating Christian women from across the Roman Empire. It reveals the women who chose to dedicate their lives to Christ, by embracing martyrdom or by adopting a life of poverty and prayer, renouncing not only wealth but also their duties as wives and mothers.
