A Foreign and Wicked Institution : The Campaign Against Convents in Victorian England

2011 - The Lutterworth Press

318 p.

  • This work explores the prejudice that existed against women in Victorian England who joined sisterhoods and worked in orphanages and in education and were committed to social work among the urban poor. The accomplishments of the nineteenth-century nuns and the opposition they overcame should serve as both an example and encouragement to all men and women committed to the Gospel. [Publisher's text].
