Pope Leo XIV once asked his mother whether she wanted to be equal to men. “No, because we’re already better,” she told him. Meet Mildred Prevost, the Black Creole librarian, singer, and mother whose faith helped shape the first American pope.

Mildred Prevost died in 1990. In October, as Pope Leo XIV, her son told a Vatican synod what she had said in 1972 when he asked if women wanted equality with men, she responded “we’re already better.”
