Summary
"After centuries of silence, lesbian nuns are speaking out... revealing their terrible inner conflicts, their struggles toward self-realization, the joy and pain of their lives in --and away--from the convent. The stories of these fifty-one women have been banned in Boston and denounced by many leaders of the Catholic Church... but they nevertheless speak to us all"--Page 4 of cover.
