Vatican II and Beyond The Changing Mission and Identity of Canadian Women Religious

"Well-researched and well-written Vatican II and Beyond is an important contribution to a growing body of knowledge on the history of women religious, offering valuable comparative perspectives." Margaret McGuinness, La Salle University "This volume is an important contribution to the literature on women religious in Canada, showing the crucial role the [Canadian Religious Conference (CRC)] played in the development of Canadian female religious orders after Vatican II, as well as the impact of renewal in religious life on individual sisters." The Canadian Historical Review "There is a long history of bishops and secular priests making life just as difficult and miserable for many male religious congregations as they did for their female counterparts. One wonders about the extent, if any, to which this tradition has survived. These, and many other fascinating questions are prompted in the mind of the reader on reading this excellent work by Bruno-Jofré, MacDonald, and Smyth."
