What'sHerName

THE MYSTIC Margery Kempe


Listen Later

When most medieval Englishwomen wouldn’t travel more than five miles from home in their lifetime, Margery Kempe left behind her abusive husband and fourteen children to walk from France to Jerusalem and back – in the 1400s! Discover the amazing story of the mysterious “Weeping Mystic” who traveled the world, broke all the rules, and – luckily for us – recorded it all for history! Returning guest Mary Sharratt is on a mission to write women back into history.


Music featured in this episode by Solis, Choir of the Sun, Aaron Kenny, and Yanma Ensemble.
