Women of the Church

History & Biography

“Women lost from the pages of history find a home in Women of the Church alongside familiar Saints, Blesseds, Scholars, and Workers. One is keenly aware that while we were deprived of their brilliance, their light was not diminished by the forgoing. Dr. McShea has given us an inspiring historical compendium of faith-filled, faithful, courageous women who said 'yes' in diverse ways, at ordinary and crucial moments, and in so doing profoundly influenced the Church, culture, and society. A serious homage to the feminine genius, it is sure to inspire women today to do the same.”
