Klappentext:

When a small group of Irish nuns arrived in Ballarat in 1875, with their charismatic leader Mother Gonzaga Barry, who could have imagined the influence they would have on Catholic education in Australia?

The women were mmembers of the Irish branch of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary, also known as the Loreto Institute. The original founder, courageous Yorkshire woman Mary Ward, in 1609 embarked on her life’s work: to establish active religious communities of women unencumbered by the constraints of monastic enclosure and traditional church thinking. Ward was eventually imprisoned for heresy and her work suppressed, but her Institute survived.

In Australia, Loreto nuns have not only founded their own schools, but have run parish schools on a shoestring, worked in indigenous and other dsadvantaged communities, taught in universitites and held prominent positions in public life. Loreto in Australia is the fascinating story of women of great strength and charmand deep spirituality living lives that fulfil Mary Ward’s prediction that ’women in time to come will do great matters’.

Klappentext:

This book tells the story of the Yorkshire woman, Mary Ward, who lived in the Elizabethan age and whose life reflected the courage, wit and creativity of the times. Mary and her companions educated girls when most were denied this advantage. Her founding of schools for girls across Europe was considered "a dangerous innovation". She endured opposition and the suppression of the Institute that she founded in a spirit of faith and trust in God as a joyful, English woman of the seventeenth century.
