The Quiet Revolutionaries : How the Grey Nuns Changed the Social Welfare Paradigm of Lewiston, Maine Paperback / softback
by Susan Hudson
Part of the Studies in American Popular History and Culture series
Paperback / softback
Description
The book recognizes the achievements by a nineteenth-century community of women religious, the Grey Nuns of Lewiston, Maine.
The founding of their hospital was significant in its time as the first hospital in that factory city; and is significant today if one desires a more accurate and inclusive history of women and healthcare in America.
The fact that this community lived in a hostile, Protestant-dominated, industrial environment while submerged in a French-Canadian Catholic world of ethnicity, tradition and paternalism makes their accomplishments more compelling.
