Across God's Frontiers: Catholic Sisters in the American West, 1850-1920
Anne M. Butler
Roman Catholic sisters first travelled to the American West as providers of social services, education, and medical assistance. In Across God's Frontiers, Anne M. Butler traces the ways in which sisters challenged and reconfigured contemporary ideas about women, work, religion, and the West. She also demonstrates how religious life became a vehicle for increasing women's agency and power.
