<span> Researching the history of religious vocation of women in the middle ages was a great challenge especially because the bulk of information regarding this era was written by men and for men. And in this era, the majority of women were illiterate; hence few recorded their thoughts and visions. Again many people did not readily understand the mystery of religious vocation, nor did they comprehend the fact that women can find fulfillment in a monastic milieu. However, such a call to solitude and prayer has been heard by women from the early days of the primitive Church and has continued, with varying degrees of popularity, throughout the centuries up to and including the present. So, many names survived the intervening centuries, whose education enabled them to share their visions and artistic accomplishments. From these survivors, twentieth-century scholars discovered playwrights, calligraphers, illuminators, embroiderers, lace workers, even printers, as well as mystical scholars and writers in the ranks of female medieval monastic.
