- Summary:
- The historical record does not show (until now) that there were Vatican Council Mothers as well as Fathers--23 of them, in fact, and their contributions were enormous. McEnroy has interviewed most of the living women who were officially invited as auditors. Here, they share their experiences and perceptions of the church today in relationship to the promise of Vatican II.
