English Roman Catholic women's congregations are an enigma of
nineteenth-century social history. Over ten thousand nuns and
sisters, establishing and managing significant Catholic
educational, health care and social welfare institutions in England
and Wales, have virtually disappeared from history. Despite their
exclusion from historical texts, these women featured prominently
in the public and private sphere. Intertwining the complexities of
class with the notion of ethnicity, Contested identities examines
the relationship between English and Irish-born sisters. This study
is relevant not only to understanding women religious and
Catholicism in nineteenth-century England and Wales, but also to
our understanding of the role of women in the public and private
sphere, dealing with issues still resonant today. Contributing to
the larger story of the agency of nineteenth-century women and the
broader transformation of English society, this book will appeal to
scholars and students of social, cultural, gender and religious
history. -- .
