This study offers an account of continuity and change among a group of religious women dedicated in the main to education. It reveals their dilemmas, as well as the personalities of their leaders, as they respond to massive changes in the Catholic church, the reality of South Africa, and the social position of women. The story that Kathleen Boner carefully traces is likely to evoke similar memories among members of other church bodies. As we approach 2000 years of Christianity many religious organisations sense that they should now take stock of their past; this study sets an example of how that might begin.
