The Transforming Power of the Nuns: Women, Religion, and Cultural Change in Ireland, 1750-1900

The Transforming Power of the Nuns: Women, Religion, and Cultural Change in Ireland, 1750-1900 Challenging widely-held assumptions of 19th-century social history in Ireland, this book examines the influence of Irish nuns on the Irish Catholic cultural revolution. It claims they were not merely passive servants, but educated women at the centre of the creation of a devout Catholic culture.
