Angela of Foligno (1248 – 4 January 1309) was an Italian Franciscan tertiary who became known as a mystic from her extensive writings about her mystical revelations. Due to the respect those writings engendered in the Catholic Church she became known as Theologorum Magistra ("Teacher of Theologians"), as first used by Maximilian Sandaeus, later cited by Bollandus in the Acta Sanctorum. Angela was noted not only for her spiritual writings, but also for founding a religious community which refused to become an enclosed order so that it might continue her vision of caring for those in need. The Catholic Church declared Angela to be a saint in 2013. Read more on Wikipedia
