In this book, Bridget Mary Meehan, a nationally-known conference speaker, retreat director, and workshop leader, looks at the lives and spiritual legacies of 30 Christian women. The intent is "to deepen our understanding of the role ordinary women play as instruments of God's plan." Meehan salutes the realism of Evelyn Underhill, the wisdom of Edith Stein, the prophetic courage of Dorothy Day, the poetry of Jessica Powers, and much more. Each chapter includes a brief biography, original writings, reflections, discussion questions, and suggestions for prayer.
