Excerpt from The Mystic Bride: A Study of the Life-Story of Catherine of SienaAnd if these names and fames are few, compared with the innumerable throng of female human creatures who have borne the burden and heat Of the day of this life, fewer still are-the histories of women that can be regarded as complete histories that not only detail the words, acts and manners of the women they relate to, In full sequence from the cradle to the grave, but that reveal the thoughts, the heart feelings, the very spirit impulses Of the personages whose deeds they chronicle.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
