Mary Malone, an Irish theologian and writer, has produced this enjoyable booklet, Marie Madeleine d’Houët: A Volcanic French Woman.
In this scholarly piece of writing Mary Malone explores aspects of the Life of the FCJ Foundress, Marie Madeleine d’Houët showing her extraordinary influential context within the Christian story.
In an on-line biopic that is well worth reading, Mary writes, “… it was the presence of two older brothers and their frequent teaching about the absence of any ‘great women’ in the perceived landscape of family and national story that set me on my life journey. The search for women became both a personal and scholarly life endeavour.… The effort to place women firmly in their extraordinarily influential context within the Christian story has become a life task.”
