Education, Identity and Women Religious, 1800-1950: Convents, classrooms and colleges (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780815358534)

This book brings together the work of eleven leading international scholars to map the contribution of teaching Sisters, who provided schooling to hundreds of thousands of children, globally, from 1800-1950. The volume represents research that draws on several theoretical approaches and methodologies. It engages with feminist discourses, social history, oral history, visual culture, post-colonial studies, and the concept of transnationalism, to provide new insights into the work of Sisters in education.
