Anne of Saint Bartholomew

Anne of Saint Bartholomew was a Spanish Discalced Carmelite and companion to Teresa of Ávila who established new monasteries in France and the Low Countries. Anne sometimes struggled with her superiors as she set about setting new convents and holding her position as a prioress. She later settled in the Spanish Netherlands and opened a house, remaining there until her death in 1626. Pope Benedict XV beatified her in 1917.
