Sommario/riassunto

Catholic Women Confront Their Church tells the stories of nine women who have chosen to remain Catholic despite deep disagreements with the institutional church. From well-known figures to those who are lesser-known, the book highlights a diverse range of women whose stories illustrate not only problems in the church but also the promise of reform.
