Anne Patrick, PhD: A Woman of Faith, Passion, and Devotion

Anne Patrick was a professor of mine during Winter term 1999 at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota. Our course was entitled Religion and Modern Literature, and over the course of the term, Professor Patrick proved to be a brilliant lecturer, a person of true faith and devotion, a dedicated educator, and a genine friend, evincing selfless concern for her students even amid personal challenges. Her recent book is an extension of a life of faith amid opposition, the resolute voice of a woman dedicated to change within the Church, one not about to lose her faith or devotion despite barriers erected in the name of tradition or authority. I would highly recommend the book not just to Catholics or to individuals interested in issues in Women's Studies, but to all people of faith, struggling, doubting, re-evaluating, or otherwise.
