Mary, Mother and Warrior: The Virgin in Spain and the Americas (Hall, Linda)
In a brief review it is difficult to do justice to the richness of this book and its insights.  It is well researched, well written, and enhanced by illustrations that truly support the text. (Stafford PooleThe Americas2006-01-00)The book is an impressive and very welcome contribution to the history of Marian devotion and, more broadly, of religious culture in the Hispanic World. (Andrew ReddenJournal of Latin American Studies2005-01-00)Linda Hall presents an outstanding comparative work on Spanish and American devotion to Mary.  She skillfully handles a diversity of Marian imagery, moving with ease from one instance to the next, describing the theological, dogmatic, and even regional differences of each cult.... The book makes for a valuable and fascinating read. (Sr. Teresa MayaTheological Studies2006-01-00)
