  The Catholic order the Glenmary Sisters offered women the opportunity to act as domestic missionaries, to experience adventure and to escape the homefront social pressures of post-World War II USA. This title chronicles their efforts to overcome the stifling rules of the Church and to work for social change within struggling mountain communities.
