The author lets the reader in on the secrets of daily life and the reasons large numbers left their convents to return to secular life. First-hand accounts help to make life before, during, and after being a nun relatable. The historical perspective and a sprinkle of sociological insight are seamlessly interwoven.
Becoming a Nun in the Age of Aquarius is a first-hand account of the “making-a-nun” process of the pre-Vatican II 1960s. It is much more than a memoir.
This was in the 1960s.
It was a time when the last group of American women entered Catholic religious orders in such numbers. It is also the last group of women to be trained and live under the conditions of the old pre-Vatican II Catholic Church.
Becoming a Nun in the Age of Aquarius reveals an integral part of women’s history.
I guarantee you will find it fascinating, informative, and at times, funny.
