Despite historic advances in women's recognition and equality over the past half-century, the significant roles played by Roman Catholic laywomen in church and society still go largely unacknowledged. With "Women of Vision", Marian Ronan and Mary O'Brien contribute substantially to remedying this situation. Drawn from interviews done with its founders, this book highlights the relentless and heroic work done by the women of the Grail movement, founding and staffing hospitals and schools, supporting indigenous women and girls, preparing local women for church and Grail leadership, and in some cases, assuming governance roles in their own countries and at the United Nations.
