This study analyzes accounts of Jerusalem pilgrimage by two women, Bridget of Sweden and Margery Kempe. Analysis of the two accounts within the broader context of the place of Jerusalem pilgrimage in female spirituality, together with a brief survey of pilgrimage to Jerusalem by women in the Middle Ages, show the religious climate, which enabled women to undertake such journeys. It also depicts meaningful differences between the perceptions of men and women of the time, regarding the character of Jerusalem's sanctity
