St. Brigid is Ireland’s most famous female patron saint, yet she is not Ireland’s only female saint. Readers are introduced to twenty-three female saints in the main chapters. These include Attracta, who defeated a deadly serpent, Dympna who helped people with anxiety and Lupait, St. Patrick’s sister and a skilled embroiderer and weaver. Each chapter concludes with interesting facts and fun activity suggestions. A list of further Irish female saints is provided at the end of the book along with a quiz, glossary and bibliography.
