- Summary:
-
"Four hundred of the 3,800 people who permanently live or work in the State of Vatican City are women. They are nuns and members of the laity: some are housekeepers of churchmen; others are secretaries, translators, editors, lawyers, and middle-level officials of the papal administration." "The Vatican's Women recalls women who wielded power in the Vatican, including St. Catherine of Siena, Queen Christina of Sweden, Mother Pascalina (Pope Pius XII's longtime housekeeper and confidante), and Mother Teresa. Paul Hofmann examines the papacy's reaction to Catholic women's (and nuns') liberation, and women's struggles, especially today, to fortify their positions within the Catholic Church."--BOOK JACKET.
