The four women discussed in this book - Hadewych, Mechtild of Magdeburg, Marguerite Porete and Beatrijs of Nazareth - between them span the thirteenth century.

Saskia Murk-Jansen describes the historical context of the Beguine movement and the changing social reality in which these women and their fellow Beguines lived.
