Who is Hadewijch?

Hadewijch was a 13th-century poet and mystic, probably living in the Duchy of Brabant, and perhaps in Antwerp. Most of her extant writings are in a Brabantian form of Middle Dutch. Her writings include visions, prose letters and poetry. The poetry of the mystic would play an important role in the essays, plays and novels of Belgian writer Suzanne Lilar and were one of the most important direct influences on the mystical thought of Blessed John of Ruysbroeck.
