Description

Patricia Ranft (au). Synthesizes the most recent research on women religious in chronological order & places these women in the center of the narrative. Starting with the 4th century birth of monasticism & continuing until the 17th century birth of active congregation, Ranft’s book puts to rest any lingering doubts about the pivotal role women have played in the development of Western culture & the Roman church. Written with both the scholar & student in mind, this is a long-awaited work that fills a gap in the history of western civilization, in the history of women, & in the history of the church.
