| Meer info | "Sisters in Arms" is an history of Catholic nuns in the Western world. Unfolding century by century, this drama encompasses every period from the dawn of Christianity to the present. History has until recently minimized the role of nuns over the centuries. In this volume, their lives, their work and their importance to the Church are acknowledged. Jo Ann Kay McNamara introduces us to women scholars, mystics, artists, political activists, healers and teachers - individuals whose religious vocation enabled them to pursue goals beyond traditional gender roles. They range from Thecla, the legendary companion of Paul, who baptized herself in preparation for facing the lions in the Roman arena, to Hildegard of Bingen, whose visions unlocked her extraordinary talents for music, medicine and moral teaching in the 12th century. They also include Sister Mary Theresa Kane, who stood before the pope - and an American television audience - in 1979 and urged him to consider the ordination of women. By entering the convent, McNamara shows, nuns gained a community that allowed them to evolve spiritually, intellectually and emotionally; but the convent was never a perfect refuge. Women's struggles continued against the male church hierarchy, the broader lay community and the larger cultural and historical forces of change. |
