This is both a work of reference and a bedside companion. Although not a characteristic feminist book, it is an important contribution in this field. In the first part, the author lists the holy women of Britain from early times to 1845, with a biography for each; the second part is a gazetteer of religious houses for women, with short histories of each and mention of the people associated with them. The author, Kathleen Parbury FRBS, has had a distinguished and independent career as a sculptress.
