Abstract:
Profiles ten nuns and the causes to which they've dedicated their lives. Meet, for instance, Sister Simone Campbell, who traversed the United States challenging a Republican budget that threatened to severely undermine the well-being of poor Americans; Sister Megan Rice, who's willing to spend the rest of her life in prison if it helps eliminate nuclear weapons; and the inimitable Sister Jeannine Gramick, who's fighting for acceptance of gays and lesbians in the Catholic Church.
Contents:
Weapons are made like gods -- The nun on the bus -- It isn't about being gay; it's about being in love -- Racing against time, outliving the competition -- An underground railroad for modern-day slaves -- Keeping an eye on corporate America -- The act of survival is worse than the torture itself -- I want to run a laundromat before I die -- Jesus treated men and women equally -- We are all sisters.
