Description

In this provocative work, Lucy Kaylin explores myths and debunks stereotypes to present a rich and varied portrait of modern nuns. She presents a range of strong and surprising women wrestling with the central issues of their calling -- issues common to secular women as well: commitment, sexuality, sacrifice, politics, and work. These nuns represent a waning breed that is given its due in this rich and emotionally charged book.
