Female hermits...?

[sabriner]

I always hear about male saints who were hermits (St. Anthony of the desert, St. Charbel). Does anyone know of any female hermit saints?

I went to saints.sqpn.com/ and did a search for the word “hermitess” and got these results: saints.sqpn.com/?s=hermitess

I don’t know about lady hermits being made saints, but your question made me think of Carthusian nuns and Immured Anchoresses. They may never have been elevated to sainthood, but I am sure many of them are saints whether recognized or not.
