Julian of Norwich, writing in a cloistered cell in the 14th century, described her visions as "revelations of divine love." Julian's writings became the first book in English to be written by a woman, and her ideas are as progressive ("God is our Mother") and comforting ("All shall be well") today as they were in the turbulent times in which she lived.
