Marjorie Camp and her Encounters with God

Marjorie Camp, a 15th-century figure, had personal experiences with God that influenced her writing. She dictated her work, Book of Marjorie Camp, to a male companion and received help from a priest in improving the language. Camp faced opposition from men but persevered with her expressive and unconventional behavior. Her book details her campaign for her husband to accept her vow of chastity, her travels as a religious teacher, and her bouts of loud weeping. Camp rebelled against societal expectations for married women and challenged the idea of female silence in religious matters.
