Quiet Revolutionaries How the Grey Nuns Changed The Social Welfare Paradigm Of Lewiston, Maine

The book recognizes the achievements by a nineteenth-century community of women religious, the Grey Nuns of Lewiston, Maine. The founding of their hospital was significant in its time as the first hospital in that factory city; and is significant today if one desires a more accurate and inclusive history of women and healthcare in America. The fact that this community lived in a hostile, Protestant-dominated, industrial environment while submerged in a French-Canadian Catholic world of ethnicity, tradition and paternalism makes their accomplishments more compelling.Hudson, Susan P. is the author of 'Quiet Revolutionaries How the Grey Nuns Changed The Social Welfare Paradigm Of Lewiston, Maine', published 2006 under ISBN 9780415978347 and ISBN 0415978343.
