  Catholic Nuns and Sisters in a Secular Age : Britain, 1945-90 Paperback / softback
  This is the first in-depth study of post-war female religious life.
  It draws on archival materials and a remarkable set of eighty interviews to place Catholic sisters and nuns at the heart of the turbulent 1960s, integrating their story of social change into a larger British and international one.
  Shedding new light on how religious bodies engaged in modernisation, it addresses themes such as the Modern Girl and youth culture, '1968', generational discourse, post-war modernity, the voluntary sector and the women's movement.
  Women religious were at the forefront of the Roman Catholic Church's movement of adaptation and renewal towards the world.
