Reviews

[Nancy · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was a small little book. I thought it could have been better. Each write up for these mystic women is a bare bones biography but with little examples of their work. This leaves you without a real understanding of why they should be considered mystics. At least I did learn a few names I had never heard of before.
