The life of Catherine of Siena is one of the most wonderful and fascinating biographies in medieval history. In the midst of ecclesiastical corruption this “daughter of the people” rose to be a tower of strength for purifying the church and ministering to the people. With a faith which swept all before it, her influence swayed cardinals, princes, and popes, and she acted as a mediator between Church and State. The interesting story of her life is told in this volume.
