Edith Stein was a German Jewish philosopher who converted to Catholicism and became a Discalced Carmelite nun. She worked as a nursing assistant during World War I and later as an assistant to Edmund Husserl after completing her doctoral thesis. Despite facing discrimination due to Nazi policies, she taught at a Catholic school of education. Edith Stein eventually pursued her calling as a nun, joining the Discalced Carmelite monastery in Cologne and taking the religious name Teresia Benedicta a Cruce.
