Reading B Notes

I finished up Women Saints today. The stories followed along with the stories from part A. Each story was dedicated to a certain female saint, who deserves a little more notoriety. The language was archaic, and still hard to follow, but I pushed through and found a couple stories I liked. 
The first being Saint Cecilia.

Saint Cecilia is the patron saint of music. As stated in my introduction, I am obsessed with music, so this story immediately jumped out to me. However, maybe I misinterpreted the story because her plotline dealt with her virginity and remaining celibate. I like her story, but it was not what I expected to read. There was a lot of detail in this particular one, too.
The next one I found intriguing was Saint Eugenia. She basically pulled a Mulan and dressed as a man to join a monastery. Surprisingly this one had a bit of a happier than most. She was able to convert her father and avoid death until she was killed by a sword. I thought the plot was entertaining, but the story could've been longer.
