Reviews

[...] there is no doubt that each chapter was well researched. They all focus on the considerable impact of religious men and women on their respective country's Catholic 'community of communication'. In this respect, the publication is a success. History of Women Religious of Britain and Ireland, Dr. Joos van Vugt, Radboud University Nijmegen, April 2014 Academic libraries should acquire this series of important explorations for the use of studentsand researchers. Paul Misner, Marquette University, The Catholic Historical Review, 2014, vol. 100, no. 4 But on the whole, the articles were engaging, informative, thought provoking and elicited a desire to delve deeper. The collection represents both a tribute of recognition to the orders and congregations whose works are described and a welcome contribution to nineteenth and early twentieth-century social and religious history. Anselm Nye, Trajecta Portal
