Education, Identity and Women Religious, 1800-1950: Convents, Classrooms and Colleges

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.
