Rising is an eloquent testimony to the leadership role that countless Catholic women have played in parish ministries, health care, all levels of education, diocesan administration, national and international organizations, and various not-for-profit organizations, and a profound call for a greater recognition of their essential participation so that the Church may more fully be the Church of Jesus Christ. --Rev. Edward A. Malloy, C.S.C., President Emeritus, University of Notre Dame The word 'leadership' can seem abstract and remote; this book makes it come alive. --Kathleen Norris, author, Cloister Walk Many might assume that a book on women's leadership in Catholic ministries would be a fairly short story. Yet Carolyn Woo and the ecclesial leaders featured in this volume, who share their wisdom, resilience, and hope, as well as their setbacks and discouraging moments in diverse ministries of leadership in the Church and in the world, provide convincing evidence that the Holy Spirit continues to raise up women as faithful and creative leaders on behalf of the reign of God. Let the stories continue and let the Church say: 'Amen.' --Mary Catherine Hilkert, O.P., Professor of Theology, University of Notre Dame

An eloquent testimony to the leadership role that countless Catholic women have played in parish ministries, health care, all levels of education, diocesan administration, national and international organizations, and a profound call for a greater recognition of their essential participation so that the Church may more fully be the Church of Jesus Christ. --Rev. Edward A. Malloy, C.S.C., President Emeritus, University of Notre Dame By sharing the stories and voices of a diverse community of women leaders currently shaping the Church's service around the world, Dr. Woo brings not only hope but also a gifted leader's strategic perspective to an issue that if not properly addressed could prove catastrophic for so many. Never vitriolic and always leading with both intelligence and authentic love, Carolyn and the leaders she highlights provide a way forward and true hope for any woman who desires to lead with virtue and grace. --Lisa M. Hendey, founder of CatholicMom.com and author of The Grace of Yes The power of women is derived from relationship. Carolyn Woo demonstrates this by elevating the voices of sixteen women leaders in the Church along with her own experience of ministry. Given our current climate, Rising offers a timely perspective on the value of the feminine genius . - Sr. Mary Haddad, RSM President/CEO Catholic Health Association
