Abstract

to access. As is often the case with studies of women religious, readers may finish Mangion’s book with an appetite for a comparative study on male religious experiences in the same era. Similarly, the depth of Mangion’s research into English experiences is a rallying cry for complementary works to be realised in other national contexts. An inspiration in its originality and rigour, and a pleasure to read, Catholic Nuns and Sisters in a Secular Age is a major and progressive contribution to academic work on modern women religious.
