Sermons and Addresses V2: Of His Eminence William Cardinal O'Connell, Archbishop of Boston (1911)

Annette Cansello Tomalin left the Sacred Heart of Mary religious order realizing that her preference of lifestyle was not compatible with the life of a nun. Her hope was to live a quiet and rewarding life as a public schoolteacher; but fate has a way of thrusting the unsuspecting into the course of history. When treated unfairly in a promotional process, Annette came to the realization that women were overlooked when leadership roles were available in public education and were relegated in many cases to less than challenging tasks. This book is a fictional account, yet with a degree of authenticity as to how a group of women led by Annette began a minor revolution to address the unfair treatment of women in public education and to reform a school district so as to recognize and appreciate the worth and value of women and to promote them because of their intelligence and productivity.
