Dominican Penitent Women - Maiju Lehmijoki-Gardner

Edited by Maiju Lehmijoki-Gardner

This book presents a fascinating overview of the spirituality, religious practices and way of life of medieval Italian women who belonged to the Dominican Order as lay members. It gives a glimpse into the foundations of Dominican lay life and how these women refashioned Dominican ideals into practices that best responded to their state in life.

We recommend this book for Lay Dominicans or those interested in this third order.
