A compelling page-turner, Stephen Andes fascinating biography positions Sofía del Valle (1891–1982), the book’s protagonist, as a compelling figure whose life and life’s mission—educating young Catholic women—intersect with the social, political, and religious turmoil of postrevolutionary Mexico. Her pious activism in the support of the Instituto Superior de Cultura Femenina and its sister organization the Juventud Catòlica Feminina Mexicana—Catholic organizations dedicated to providing educational opportunities to young women—takes del Valle to Europe and the United States on a quest for financial support from international Catholic organizations. In this study, the author weaves together del Valle’s story with that of a changing Mexico and its many seminal moments, inviting the reader to join his journey through the research and writing process.
