Julian of Norwich
English female theologian
Julian of Norwich was a 14th-century English mystic and anchoress, author of *Revelations of Divine Love*, considered the first book written in English by a woman.
Her visions emphasized God's love and maternal nature, producing the famous line All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.
Her name comes from the Norwich church where she lived in seclusion.
