In Honor of Women’s History Month, Women’s and Gender Studies Presents
Dr. Catherine Mooney
Associate professor of Church History, Boston College, speaking on:
“Hildegard of Bingen: Why a Twelfth-Century Radical is Still Radical Today”
This multi-talented woman – visionary, preacher, playwright, musician, healer, scientist, and politician – towered over the men and women around her. In subsequent centuries, repeated attempts have been made to diminish her radical achievements, bury her in the past, and, most recently, domesticate her identity by naming her Saint and Doctor of the Church.
