Klappentext:

In the early years of the seventeenth century a young Yorkshire woman, Mary Ward, began a new form of religious life for women: free of enclosure, free to open schools and work amongst the poor, free to move wherever the need was greatest, free to pray whenever oppurtunity allowed, free from government by a male Order. But the fledgling community was condemned and Mary herself briefly imprisoned; it was many years after her death before the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary was confirmed by the Church and only in 1909 that she was officially declared its foundress.
This is the story of her life.
