Teresa of Avila – Teresa of Avila (1515-81), the founder of the Reformed branch of the Carmelite Order, was a “late-bloomer.” After years as a mediocre nun, a conversion she experienced about 1560 led her to write about her life (the Vida), initiate her reform, and also to write classic accounts of the mystical life, such as The Interior Castle.
