Medieval women mysticism
Medieval women mysticism was "a succession of insights and revelations about God that gradually transformed the recipient." The word "mysticism" has its origin in ancient Greek where individuals called the ''mystae'' participated in mystery religions.〔 The life of a medieval woman mystic was spent seeking unity with God in a series of stages. The mystic underwent a purge of the spirit in which she released herself from earthly indulgences and attachments. In a state of contrition the medieval woman mystic faced suffering because of her past sins and was revealed the mercy of God through penitence.〔Ross, Ellen. (1993) "'She Wept and Cried Right Loud for Sorrow and for Pain': Suffering, the Spiritual Journey, and Women's Experience in Late Medieval Mysticism." In ''Maps of Flesh and Light: The Religious Experience of Medieval Women Mystics'' edited by Ulrike Wiethaus, 45-59. New York: Syracuse University. p 54.〕 Mystics sought to imitate the suffering of Christ in order to gain an understanding through experience.〔Ross, Ellen. (1993) "'She Wept and Cried Right Loud for Sorrow and for Pain': Suffering, the Spiritual Journey, and Women's Experience in Late Medieval Mysticism." In ''Maps of Flesh and Light: The Religious Experience of Medieval Women Mystics'' edited by Ulrike Wiethaus, 45-59. New York: Syracuse University. p.47.〕 During the compassion stage of suffering, the pain experienced by the Medieval woman mystic "revealed the believer's love of Christ, fostered unity with Christ and the world, and began to draw the believer beyond the physical Jesus who suffered on the Cross to understand the immensity of the love that motivated Christ in the world to suffer on humanity's behalf".〔Ross, Ellen. (1993) "'She Wept and Cried Right Loud for Sorrow and for Pain': Suffering, the Spiritual Journey, and Women's Experience in Late Medieval Mysticism."

==Medieval Women as Visionaries==
Medieval women mystics experienced visions during the Illuminative part of their lives that contained instructions from God〔 and would communicate their revelations in written form.〔 Visions occurred to the mystic in the form of raptures or ecstasies which were out of body experiences where the mystic was unresponsive to and disconnected from the outside world in a state of immobility.〔 The visions had by most female mystics during the Middle Ages were in the form of mental images taken from the imagination. Clerical authorities viewed the imagination of the mystic as a physical and mental ability.〔 Medieval women mystics were considered prophets by their communities. During the Middle Ages, Medieval interpretations of Biblical passages such as 1 Corinthians 14:34. resulted in women being excluded from the Church's hierarchy and lacking the authority to impart Biblical wisdom. Contrarily, Medieval women were thought to be more susceptible to experiencing a Rapture based on Galen's writings on humor theory. Feminine softness and coldness as proposed by Galen was taken by Medieval theologians as evidence that women were more impressionable to visions.〔 Also, the Christian idea that God used humble beings as his vessels supported the ability of Medieval women to act as mystics.〔
