In history and sistory, Prof. Margaret Susan Thompson rocks!
Icame across this article yesterday about Prof. Thompson, one of my fav historians! Through her work, she tells the stories of U.S. women religious and how they have shaped U.S. culture and society. Plus she’s a lively writer–she makes history come alive! I am grateful to her and all historians who help to share accurate, authentic stories about sisters!
Sister Julie and I were delighted to have Prof. Thompson join us on a live podcast last year. To hear a recording of the conversation, go to the In Good Faith webpage.
Are there sisters you know whose stories should be told? Please share your stories here and on the A Nun’s Life Discussion Forum

A good article, all too brief, on Prof. Thompson’s work! Other possibilities: Sara McAlpin, BVM, who’s working on BVM history in the order’s archives and Lucy Poulin, a former nun, who founded the H.O.M.E. (Homeworkers Organized for More Employment) cooperative in Orland, Maine. Lucy is just amazing, as is the whole community at H.O.M.E. And then there are our friends, the Dominican Sisters at Crystal Spring in Plainville, MA. In addition to protesting war and working for peace and justice, they’re working on Religious Lands Conservancy and promoting organic, sustainable farming and serving as a CSA distribution point for our area. Love those sisters!
Marg, what wonderful suggestions! Sara McAlpin also one heck of a good English professor (now retired). The Dominican Sisters at Crystal Spring are included in the book Green Sisters: A Spiritual Ecology, written by Sarah Taylor of Northwestern University and published by Harvard University Press in 2007. Excellent reading for anyone interested in women religious and their leadership in the green movement.
I spent time off and on today reading the article and listening to the podcast. Thank you once again for putting out great content. I have just found a wealth of information from this ministry. God Bless!
