Founded in 1888, the sisters of the Community of the Holy Name have administered schools, hospitals, a girls' reformatory, orphanages and an inner-city mission. Rooted in inchoate feminism, the Community's charitable empire stretched from its Melbourne base to New South Wales, South Australia, New Guinea and New Zealand. Lynne Strahan presents a study of the Anglican order who have a commitment to a hidden life.
