Help!

Okay, so I may just have chosen the worst possible essay question out of all the options...
"Was there a distinctive style of women’s mysticism, as opposed to men’s, in Europe in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries? Discuss with reference to any two of the following: St. Catherine of Siena; Margery Kempe; Richard Rolle; Henry Suso."

We haven't covered it in class and I dont' know where to begin, but I've already got all the books and want to get it done by tonight. I know what I'll do once I have an arguament - focus on St Catherine of Siena and Richard Rolle, since I have oh-so-many primary sources from them, but I don't know how to argue. For or against?
If anyone knows/has some kind of insight, please comment. Pleease. Thankyou.

And from this I have learned never to choose the essay question that looks the most interesting

Absolutely no idea, I think one would need to read the sources to form an argument on that.

Interesting essay questions are good, don't give up on them. What I do steer clear of are questions which brain says "If I do that, then I can show how much of a genius I am, because to be honest I know that I won't put in the effort to make it good.

Ah well, thanks anyway. I'm not doing any more today since I've just suffered loss-of-paragraphs to random computer restarting [yes. Am fairly wrathful right now], so... yeah. Grr!

Okay, I'll keep that in mind.
Hehehe. But you always should! Although arrogance does get you into holes like I'm in now.

P.S I love this icon
