Description: Throughout her life Marcelle Auclair assiduously studied the writings of Teresa of Avila. She admired in her an essentially "modern" woman: inventive, practical, gallant and intrepid, with tremendous organizational capacities. Her genius permitted her to break through the restrictions of her time.

Madame Auclair decided to re-translate the saint's writings and to write her life. With characteristic determination, she attempted to obtain the seemingly impossible (never done before) authorisation from the Holy See to enter the Carmelite cloisters in Spain and to gather authentic background material for her projected work. The permission was granted. On her return to Paris she gave up all her professional obligations and for two years went into retreat, devoting her entire time to the accomplishment of what is no doubt a most vivid biography of this great saint.
