Women Religious in the U.S.: The Past Fifty Years


Ann Carey has written extensively about Catholic women religious for many years, publishing articles on the subject in the 
National Catholic Register, Our Sunday Visitor, Crisis, and Catholic World Report. She has received Catholic Press Association awards for news and feature writing and for investigative reporting. The second, updated edition of her book Sisters in Crisis is now available from Ignatius Press, and discusses at length the on-going controversy surrounding the Leadership Conference of Women Religious and the group’s clashes with the Vatican.

Carey recently discussed Sisters in Crisis: Revisited—From Unraveling to Reform and Renewal with CWR managing editor Catherine Harmon.  (more...)
