Rating: 0 out of 5 stars

About this ebook
- Roman Catholic Church still lacks progress on the subject of gender inclusivity despite new Pope's progressive ideas
- Presents Canadian stories, which have been relatively unreported due to the quietness of the Canadian nuns publicly -- this book gives them a chance to speak
- Ideas and critiques in this book as well as the practices of the sisters will be contested by patriarchal and dogmatic traditionalists within the RC Church
- methodology included the sisters as research participants in contrast to their silenced and marginalized status in the RC Church
