Irish Nuns and Education in the Anglophone World

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the contributions of Irish-born nuns, this book explores their pivotal role in establishing educational institutions in the Anglophone world. It uncovers their journey from Ireland to create convent schools and colleges for women, challenging the narrative that portrays them solely as colonial figures. Instead, it highlights their development of influential transnational networks while maintaining strong connections to their Irish roots, thereby shaping the education of women globally while preserving elements of their own cultural heritage.
