Wright, Mary, Mary Ward’s Institute. The struggle for identity
Crossing Press 1997
248 S.
Klappentext:
Mary Ward is recognized as one of the most original and interesting women of the seventeenth century. She adapted the Jesuit constitutions as the rule for a new sort of international religious community - an independent, self-governing women’s religious congregation whose sisters could work outside the excited fierce opposition from the Vatican authorities, from the English clergy and from the Jesuits themselves.
Mary was excommunicated and her community suppressed. Nevertheless, the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary survived, but without the freedom from enclosure for which the founder hoped. While Mary Ward has been the focus of much interest in recent years, this is the first complete study of the history of her Institute. Mary Ward’s Institute: The Struggle for Identity will be welcomed by students of Mary Ward, those interested in the history of religious life, and everyone exploring the role of women in the church today.
