Anne of Jesus, born Ana de Lobera y Torres, was a Spanish Discalced Carmelite nun and influential writer who lived from 1545 to 1621. A close associate of Teresa of Ávila and a friend of John of the Cross, she played a vital role in spreading the Teresian reform. She served as prioress in both Madrid and Beas before moving to Paris in 1604, where she helped establish several new monasteries across France and Belgium.
