Born on July 16, 1821, she developed the principles of Christian Science in the late 19th century, emphasizing the healing power of prayer and the importance of spiritual rather than physical reality. Eddy also established the Christian Science Monitor, an influential international newspaper, and wrote the seminal text "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures."
