There are many - There is St. Joan of Arc (she led the French forces against the English and won)
St. Theresa of Avila - a well-known Christian mistic
St. Brigit - partroness of Ireland, well-known for her hospitality and standing up to authority
St. Bernadette - a young woman to whom Mary appeared to and showed her the healing waters of Lourdes
St. Clare - sister of St. Francis of Assisi who founded the Poor Clares, the female version of the Francisians.
St. Helen - mother of Constantine who, it is said, convinced her son to make Christianity the state religion.
There are many others...go check out a saints' name book at a local Catholic book store, or go online...I am sure there are catholic websites that give the history of saints.

S. Maria Goretti died at the age of 12 'cause wounds for the effort to resist to a violence. Her murderer passed 30 years in a prison and when he came out, he asked the Maria family forgiveness. He got it and he passed the rest of his life as Franciscan layman helping others.
Answering to someone:
To God not only Christian can be Saint, but all is a goodwill people, that is everyone 'makes' His Word.

Joan of Arc
Rallied the French to win victories over the English. Was burned at the stake, but eventually became cannonized by the church.

all Christians are saints in the eyes of the Lord... if you believe in God and the Bible, your name is already a saint name!

You are referring to Madame Jeanne Guyon. She was a Catholic, though not regarded among the Catholics; but her writings are highly regarded by many Protestants. You can find her books online.
