Title: This book makes you laugh and cry!
Review: BEHOLD THE WOMEN is original and it is quite thrilling! I took it to recreation yesterday, and the photographs, some of them more like oil paintings, and oh so attractive, so spiritual yet so human, so wise with a glint of shrewd, mischief in the glance of the eye, simply enthralled a group of all ages sitting at the round table. Abraham Lincoln's tribute to the heroism of Catholic nuns during the Civil War makes one so proud! Parts of the book reduced me to tears!Some of the text is most professionally written such as Father Daniel Berrigan. The figures spring to life: the simplicity, directness, actuality of each entry appeals to me very much. It is, I think, an American virtue and an admirable one. I saw, of course, Dan's own dear Sister Mary Jean Dorcy, with her clever and so witty verse and her deeply spiritual insights. The book will fascinate and illumine us - and all who see it - for a long time to come!Reflections from a cloistered, European nun
