St Clare of Assisi (1194-1253) was the first woman to write a Rule of Life for her own monastic religious order for women, the Order of Poor Ladies. Following her death, the order was renamed in her honour as the Order of Saint Clare, commonly referred to as the Poor Clares. #InternationalWomensDay
