Description

In a time when Catholic women were expected to stay home and raise families, Maisie Ward decided she wanted to make a greater contribution to her faith. With her husband, Ward published original works by Catholic writers and translations of noted European Catholic theologians. Ward also wrote, lectured, travelled, and raised money for her causes. Greene's biography of this remarkable woman provides inspiration for the current generation of American Catholics.

Reviews

"Professor Dana Greene demostrates great courage and the proper amount of happy foolishness as she expertly and with great sholarship presents us The Living of Maisie Ward." -St. Anthony Messenger


"In writing the life of this exceptional woman. . . Greene reconstructs the several worlds inhabited by her protagonist, worlds which need to be reinstated within the Catholic historical memory." -The Catholic Historical Review


"This book is a thoroughly researched and informative description of an intriguing corner of the Catholic world. Greene offers balanced evaluations of Ward's books and quite properly extols the extraordinary devotion Maisie and Frank had for each other." -Journal of Religion


"This is a well-written, well-documented work, and it includes an extensive index and bibliography. Anyone interested in Catholic lay ministry and the lives of women who made a difference will find this a fascinating piece of writing." -Spiritual Life


"This book is for those who followed Maisie Ward and the exciting decades of the 1920s to the 1950s in Catholic publishing. Sheed and Ward did much to advance Catholic writing and scholarship. This well-researched, readable and enjoyable biography of one-half of the partnership is a joy to have." - Library Association

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
