This book offers a new perspective on the often-overlooked lives of
lay women in the English Roman Catholic Church. It explores how
over a century ago in England some exceptional Catholic lay women
– Margaret Fletcher, Maude Petre, Radclyffe Hall, and Mabel
Batten - negotiated non-traditional family lives and were actively
practicing their faith, while not adhering to perceived structures
of femininity, power, and sexuality. Focusing on c. 1880-1930, a
time of dynamism and change in both England and the Church, these
remarkable women represent a rethinking of what it meant to be a
lay women in the English Roman Catholic Church. Their pious
transgressions demonstrate the multiplicity of ways lay women
powerfully asserted aspects of their faith while contravening
boundaries traditionally assumed for them in an ostensibly
patriarchal religion. In fact, the Church could be a place for
expressions of unconventional religiosity and reinterpretations of
womanhood and domesticity. Connecting together the lives of these
women for the first time, this work fills a lacuna in the
scholarship of modern Catholic and gender history. Drawing from
private collections and numerous archives, it illustrates the
surprising range of modes of Lived Catholicism and devotion to
faith. Students and scholars of Catholicism, gender, and LGBTQIA+
studies will find significant merit in a book that assigns lay
women a more prominent role in the English Catholic Church and
offers examples of the flexibility of Roman Catholicism.
