Teresa de Jesús, volando descalza
(Saint Teresa of Jesus, flying barefoot) Book not yet available in English
Summary:
Teresa’s family was “afraid” of her because she was a creative, imaginative person. Besides, it was rumored in convents that she was rebel, and some heartless people even wanted her to burn at the stake as an evil witch. However, she was stubborn so she fought to discover that strange force capable of making people rise, and hearts swell with love until blushing. She didn’t live fully until she discovered the key to that mystery while being in ecstasy. From then on, no one doubted that she was a saint.

Comment:
This book is an appealing biography of Saint Teresa of Jesus: a mystic, rebel woman, writer and founder of the Order of the Discalced Carmelites of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel. The beautiful images contribute to focusing on feminism and gender equality with a didactic approach.
