Margery Kempe (d. after 1438) was another English #mystic credited with writing the first #autobiography in #English. But first, she was a businesswoman and mother, who later wrote frankly of her failed business ventures, stylish clothes, her loathing of sex with her husband, and her desire for an extra-marital affair. She went on long-distance pilgrimages to #Jerusalem, #Santiago, etc. She was repeatedly tried for heresy but never convicted. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margery_Kempe #WomensHistoryMonth
