Her Sister Agnes
Many people know of Francis of Assisi and Clare, the first of the women religious to join up with Francis. She snuck out the her family villa in the night to join Francis. He cut off her beautiful teenage hair. But what few know is that Clare had a sister, Caterina, who at 15 also joined a bit later. She was given the name Agnes by Francis. Since she was considered the property of her father, the family men came to claim her back. She refused and so her uncle drew his sword to finish her off. Some others of the family tried to drag her off by her hair. I guess Francis did not cut off all her hair. Agnes ended up staying in the cloister convent. Neither Clare nor her sister, both beauties in the Offreduccio family, tried to "sell" themselves off or be sold off for prosperous and comfortable marriages, allowing the men to continue to be in charge of their lives. These Catholic nuns were forerunners of Women's Independence movements. We read about bad stuff in the Catholic church today, but don't forget that a lot of good stuff began with the same church.
