"[An] extraordinary book...Particularly dramatic, perhaps because it is so understated, is the book's account of what happened to religious women in the period of the Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century....In her preface, McNamara affectingly declares: 'Like Voltaire, I have grown up to be a secular humanist, yet, like him, I must concede that all I am I owe to my Catholic education.' It has served her--and her readers, including this reader--very well."McNamara, Jo Ann is the author of 'Sisters in Arms Catholic Nuns Through Two Millennia' with ISBN 9780674809840 and ISBN 067480984X.
