Perpetua

Saint Perpetua was a young noblewoman and nursing mother from Carthage who was martyred in 203 AD along with her slave Felicity and other companions. Her prison diary, one of the earliest Christian texts written by a woman, describes her visions and her steadfast refusal to renounce her faith. She was killed by wild beasts in the arena.
