A sensitive picture of how a women's organization, the "Missionary Oblate Sisters", a bilingual teaching congregation in Manitoba, dealt with larger patriarchal structures and the differing views, traditions, and attitudes of Sisters from disparate French Canadian communities in Manitoba, Quebec, Ontario, and the United States.An innovative approach to the history of women in religion that explores the intricate lives and apostolic work of the Oblate Sisters
"An outstanding contribution, this innovative work moves beyond the types of congregational histories that still dominate the field." Elizabeth Smyth, OISE, University of Toronto "The author brings to her work both the skills of a professional historian and an evident sympathy for the women whose story she elucidates." Richard Lebrun, University of Manitoba
