Today I’m thankful for the singular woman who was Margery Kempe.
Margery Kempe is known for producing the first autobiography in the English language. She was also a fearless woman who birthed many kids, went on pilgrimages alone (in the 14th century no less), claimed to be a mystic AND was accused of heresy. Accounts say she had the questionable gift of endless tears. For someone who was basically a medieval housewife Meg got shit done. I’m still trying to figure out my taxes.
Almighty Wikipedia is a good place to start. I’m a fan of the summary by the ladies at Frock Flicks (all of their material is protected by copyright-I’m linking for informational purposes only).
