  Hildegard of Bingen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hildegard was born into a family of nobles in the service of the counts of Sponheim, close relatives of the Hohenstaufen emperors.
Upon Jutta's death in 1136 Hildegard was chosen superior of the community, and eventually moved the group to a new monastery on the Rupertsberg at Bingen on the Rhine.
Hildegard was one of the first saints for which the canonization process was officially applied, but the process took so long that all four attempts at canonization (the last was in 1244, under Pope Innocent IV) were not completed, and remained at her beatification.

 Hildegarde von Bingen
Hildegarde of Bingen was a preacher at a time when canon law forbade women to preach, a named composer when most music was anonymous, a visionary, a theologian, a writer, an artist, a hagiographer, a prolific letter-writer and an early scientist, botanist, herbalist, physician and healer - she even invented her own coded language.
Hildegarde experienced visions from her early childhood; she could see things that were invisible to those around her, foretold the future and her vision was filled with a strange luminosity which she later came to call 'the reflection of the Living Light'.
Hildegarde was a forthright woman who was not going to allow the church to place women in a subservient place to men; nor was she going to concede, as many leading thinkers and theologians of her age taught, that woman was evil, seductress, and not created in the image and likeness of God.
