Klappentext:

Mary Ward was a pioneer of active, unenclosed religious life for women and a firm believer in the rights of women in the seventeenth century. In Till God Will she tells her own story and Emmanuel Orchard IBVM has drawn substantially on Mary Ward’s autobiographical writings and letters to give a living portrait of this dynamic woman and of the foundation of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Mary Ward’s life was marked by suffering, persecution and set-backs from within and without her own church. Religious life without formal monastic enclosure was seen as revolutionary and members of the newly founded institute were known to their detractors as "Galloping Girls".

Mother Teresa of Calcutta is one of Mary Ward’s best known and most faithful daughters as she spent the first twenty years of her religious life in the Loreto Branch of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Mother Teresa’s enthusiastic advocacy of Mary Ward in the foreword to the book emphasises that this "woman for all seasons" is truly a bridge between formal religious life which Mother Teresa can be seen to represent and today’s feminist movement within the churches.
