Produced to celebrate the fourth centenary of the birth of Mary Ward, founder of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary (IBVM), this book contains a biographical sketch and a selection of her own prayers, letters and sayings. It shows the lively and courageous spirit of a woman who, confronted by prejudice and ignorance, pursued her aim to form a religious community of women free from monastic enclosure. She was denied complete success in her life-time but her determination has been vindicated by the congregations of thousands of women who are active today in many parts of the world.
