Description of Habits of Compassion
A study of Irish-Catholic Sisters' work in founding charitable organizations in New York City from the famine through the early 20th century. It argues that it was these nuns' championing of the rights of the poor - especially poor women - that resulted in an explosion of state-supported services and programs.
