The Bene Gesserit (/ˈbɛniː ˈdʒɛsərɪt/ BEN-ee JESS-ər-it) are a key social, religious, and political force in Frank Herbert's fictional Dune universe. The group is described as an exclusive sisterhood whose members train their bodies and minds through years of physical and mental conditioning to obtain superhuman powers and abilities that can seem magical to outsiders. Acolytes who have acquired the breadth of Bene Gesserit abilities are called Reverend Mothers within the organization's ranks. — from Muad'Dib, Family Commentaries by the Princess Irulan
