"No doubt each reader will find a different aspect of this interesting book most illuminating... The scholarship on medieval women and religion has focused on... women who by definition lived extraordinary lives, Morrison's contribution is an especially useful one."
--Shannon McGeffery, Concordia University, Montreal, Canada


"Women Pilgrims in Late Medieval England will be a valuable aid to the study of late-medieval religious studies."
--Medium Aevum


"This is an exhaustively researched and necessary study in the wider field of pilgrimage, providing new insights into the place of women pilgrims in medieval society."
--Journeys
