The often forgotten role of Catholic sisters is told in experiences deeply rooted in self-realization and feminist methodology. In this collection of thirteen essays the contributors illuminate the little known world of a very creative and committed community of women—their aspirations, their values, their mission. An often neglected part of feminist research, this type of sisterly collaboration affirms the seminal paradigms in women's work and writing. These essays deal with many of the same issues of power, economic autonomy, friendship, spirituality, socialization, and professional commitment encountered in other feminist endeavors. Building Sisterhood gives the reader insight into the rigorous training involved in becoming a nun, including the complex relationships between the Monroe community, other IHM sites, and within the intricate church hierarchy. Feminist historian Margaret Susan Thompson places the essays within a historical context and provides detailed background for those unfamiliar with the life, duty, and experience of Catholic sisters. This book will make a unique contribution to feminist scholarship, religious studies, and women's history

Excerpt from The Sisters of the I. H. M: The Story of the Founding of the Congregation of the Sisters Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and Their Work in the Scranton Diocese We Catholics are sometimes too modest in narrating the glorious deeds of our forefathers and foremothers in the Faith and yet our divine Lord Himself has said to us: So let your light shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven. And so while the author thought upon the days of old, she had in her mind the eternal years the days of hardship and poverty on earth, but also the eternal years of the Beatific Vision in the kingdom of God.
