description: This book brings light to an area of American history that has received little the educational history of the American women religious and the place of the Sister Formation Conference (SFC) within that history. This study places the movement in a broad historical context that encompasses the directions and directives of the Church, the educational trends of the period, and the struggles and developments within American religious life during this time. Changes occurred and frustration was generated because church structures did not change with the same rapidity as American women religious changed. The challenge of renewal and adaptation and constant call in the history of the church, placed these women as prophets and models to the whole church.
