A trailblazer herself, Helen LaKelly Hunt gathers the stories of a mighty cloud of female witnesses from early biblical heroines to the present day. In brief meditations, Sister Wisdom offers a short biographical profile, as well as an essential insight or lesson to inspire readers on their path of faith and fortitude in facing the obstacles in their own lives.
Among the more than seventy women profiled are Teresa of Avila, Hildegard of Bingen, Anne Hutchinson, Sojourner Truth, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Dorothy Day, Fannie Lou Hamer, Sister Helen Prejean, and Anne Lamott-visionary and courageous women whose faith empowered their witness in the world.
