Lives of the Lady Saints

Lives of the
​lady saints

a compendium of saint's lore
The Girl's Only Version

In 2014, I made a pact with myself to research 100 lady saints (defined broadly and including folk saints and soon-to-be saints). For each saint below, I read as many online hagiographies as I could find and developed a composite version of her life story with hyperlinks to each source. I did not concern myself with fact or historical accuracy, only with blending the existing lore. Whenever it was available, I read each saint's own writings or confessions. The images are those that came up in a Google search as labeled for reuse with modification. In those instances where I could not find a saint's likeness, I instead included an image tied to her tale [n=2].
