An anchoress is a type of RECLUSE, typically a woman who withdraws from society and lives in seclusion, often for religious reasons. The term comes from the Greek word 'ANCHORITE, ' which means 'one who withdraws.' Anchoresses were common in the Middle Ages, when they would live in small cells attached to churches or other religious sites. They would spend their days in prayer and contemplation, and were often sought out for spiritual guidance.
