  5. Catherine Parr, sixth queen of Henry VIII, was named after Catherine of Aragon, his first queen...who was her godmother.

    Catherine the Very Much Younger was also the first woman to have her work appear in print, in English, under her own name.

  6. If anyone is looking for a #spiritual #BookClub there’s a group forming over on #reditt to read #JulianofNorwich [Warning: I’m planning on reading so you’ll be seeing some of my thoughts & reflections posted here]

    Julian of Norwich was an English anchoress in the Middle Ages. Her Revelations of Divine Love, based on 16 divine visions she received in 1373, is thought to be the first book written by a #woman in English that has survived (and is still actively being read and studied today). She is venerated as a saint in the #EpiscopalChurch & the larger #AnglicanCommunion (although she is not recognized as a saint by the #RomanCatholicChurch )

    The translation I plan to read is: Love’s Trinity: A Companion to Julian of Norwich translated by John-Julian with commentary by Frederick S. Roden bookshop.org/a/13969/978081465
