The Living of Maisie Ward

by Dana Greene

In a time when Catholic women were expected to stay home and raise families, Maisie Ward decided she wanted to make a greater contribution to her faith. With her husband, Ward published original works by Catholic writers and translations of noted European Catholic theologians. Ward also wrote, lectured, travelled, and raised money for her causes. Greene's biography of this remarkable woman provides inspiration for the current generation of American Catholics.

[Cristina · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book reeked of post modern feminist ideals to the detriment of what could have been a biography in praise of the accomplishments of Maisie Ward. She was a Catholic apologist and a good one at that. To even hint that her Catholic upbringing, beliefs or life choices somehow hindered her capabilities to excel in Catholic apologetics is simply absurd.
I was looking for a follow up to the excellent biography of Frances Chesterton, and this was not it. Poorly argued, shamelessly political with no regard for the person of Ward.
