This is a collection of reflections on the wonderful feats of wisdom, fortitude and love of Catholic women who lived in what is now understood as Canada. Written by Canadian authors, the book highlights how these remarkable women broke down barriers, fought for education, justice and charity, or simply effused a sense of silent peace.

These essays describe how each woman, even within a patriarchal institution whose professional class/caste is restricted to men, found ways to live out their faith in the service of God and neighbour. The womens histories are tales of remarkable resilience and commitment to the Catholic future of Canada.
