The Quiet Revolutionaries : How the Grey Nuns Changed the Social Welfare Paradigm of Lewiston, Maine Hardback
by Susan Hudson
Part of the Studies in American Popular History and Culture series
Hardback
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.
