In a narrative that covers these women who shaped history from the colonial era down to the present day, the author focuses on those who were influential among the Native Americans as well as among the immigrants, including those of French, Irish, Italian, and other backgrounds who helped shape business, education, health care, and even religion itself. Of particular relevance were the Sisters of Mercy who did so much to develop hospitals, orphanages, and schools in the Pine Tree State.
Reviews
“Their stories are likely much richer than what has been recorded. To name them and recognize their varied and invaluable contributions to women’s past, to America’s past, to Catholicism’s past, and especially to Maine’s past to make possible an exciting and challenging present future brimming with possibility.” – Prof. Alice L. Laffey, The College of the Holy Cross
“[The author] gives us enough information to whet our appetite and more. The story of each of these hundred women helps us understand the rich past on which the present sits.” – Prof. John B. Anderson, College of the Holy Cross
“[This book] brings light [to] the remarkable accomplishments of many Catholic women of Maine and the power of their witness to the gospel.” – Fr. Stephen F. Concannon
