In this accomplished, innovative and extensively researched monograph, Ann Power charts the ‘struggles, hardship, courage, resourcefulness, tenacity and contribution’ of one of the less well-known congregations of Irish sisters, the Sisters of St Brigid, or the Brigidines, during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries (p. 18). The book, which is largely transnational in character, surveys the evolution of the congregation from its establishment in Tullow, Co. Carlow in 1807, to approximately the point at which it achieved official recognition from Rome in 1907. Throughout, Power examines a range of competing themes, among which include social entrepreneurship, canonical politics, educational philosophies and class, while simultaneously recreating immigrant communities and recounting a broad range of personal narratives. This multilocational, broadly chronological work is a valuable contribution to our understanding of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as it explores these themes through gendered, religious and migratory lenses.
