Record Number: 16276 Author(s)/Creator(s): Papi , Anna Benvenuti. Contributor(s): Title: Topografia di santità femminile [Clare of Assisi is only one of several saintly Umbrian women of the 13th and 14th centuries. These include nuns and penitent women. Nor is Umbria alone in its number of holy women. The urbanization of the region may help explain this phenomenon, with mendicant orders and third orders providing opportunities for women who were not, like many nuns in established houses, of noble birth.
