Asceticism and the Monastic Life Among Women
Öz
Christianity, which is close to mysticism due to its internal dynamics, has intertwined with
mysticism together with its historical process. However, mysticism is a controversial issue
in Christian history in some aspects, such as the mystics' thoughts as compared with church's
official teachings, their ascetics lifestyle, and their supremacy over ordinary believers.
Another controversial issue is the position of the woman. The position of the woman, which
is indicated in the Bible as the responsible for fall from the heaven, is paradoxical in
Christianity. Christianity, which is located in two wings between the sin of Eve and the
sanctity of Mary, while it allowed women to hold office church duties and sacraments in
the early period, as time passed by it began to push them out of the church. However, we
see that women are active in mystical Christianity from the early times. Those women
prefered mystical lifestyles such as ascetic life, virginity and monastic life. This study has
presented women's contribution to the process of mystical development of Christianity
with their short life stories.
