Mountain Sisters: From Convent to Community in Appalachia

Helen M. Lewis,Monica Apple

The Catholic order known as the Glenmary Sisters offered women the opportunity to act as domestic missionaries, to experience adventure, and to escape the homefront social pressures of post-World War II America. In Mountain Sisters, the authors chronicle the efforts of the Glenmary Sisters to overcome the stifling rules of the Catholic Church and work for social change within struggling mountain communities.
