She was not a queen, nor a warrior, nor a noblewoman of great wealth. Yet Angela Merici defied the expectations of Renaissance Italy and changed the world forever. In a time when women were expected to remain silent, Angela spoke with conviction. When girls were denied education, she opened doors. When the Church struggled with division, she offered a path of unity. Without a convent, without vows, without the power of an institution behind her, she built a movement that would outlive empires. This book takes you on an unforgettable journey through the life of St. Angela Merici-a humble woman of faith who dared to dream of something greater. From the olive groves of Desenzano to the heart of Brescia, from the hardships of war to the founding of the Company of St. Ursula, Angela's story is one of courage, sacrifice, and divine inspiration. Her legacy still echoes today, in classrooms filled with eager students, in women who lead with quiet strength, and in those who believe that faith is not meant to be hidden behind walls, but lived boldly in the world. Step into the life of a saint who refused to be confined by tradition. Discover the power of education, faith, and service. And be inspired to continue Angela's mission in your own time.
