Gillian Clark is Professor Emerita of Ancient History and Senior Research Fellow at the University of Bristol.
"St. Augustine's mother, Monica, emerges from these humane pages as
'an ordinary woman', who mothered Augustine, his brother and his
friends and was a gentle and curious interlocutor in their
discussions. But Gillian Clark is also interested in questions like
how Monica dressed, and what she did all day. This short and
elegant book is also a real tour de force." --Averil Cameron,
University of Oxford
"Gillian Clark is a pioneer who has worked long and sympathetically
among the women of late antiquity and what we know of them. Now in
this richly-packed and vivid study, she has brought to life Monica
of Tagaste." --James J. O'Donnell, Arizona State University
"Clark has offered readers of our day a fuller portrait of one
quite ordinary woman, who became for later Christians, something
extraordinary, a saint in her own right." -- Los Angeles Review of
