10. St. Hildegard
Nominated by Mike Schlosser. "She was a writer, musician, theologian, playwright, teacher, herbalist and healer. She envisioned the greening power of nature and preached equality between men and women. She was way ahead of her time. Unfortunately, she was a Benedictine nun, not Franciscan, and was one of only four women doctors of the Church. She is the namesake of my mother-in-law and could be considered a martyr for putting up with me for for so many years. Hopefully she scores enough points to be considered MVP of the Lent Saint Madness.
