Women & Spirit: Catholic Sisters in America

Discover a world few have seen, millions have shared

"WOMEN & SPIRIT: Catholic Sisters in America" was a traveling exhibit sponsored by the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) in association with Cincinnati Museum Center. It revealed the mystery behind a small group of innovative American women who helped shape the nation’s social and cultural landscape.

It introduced women who corresponded with President Thomas Jefferson, talked down bandits and roughnecks, lugged pianos into the wilderness, and provided the nation’s first health insurance to Midwestern loggers. It showed sisters’ courage during the Civil War, the Gold Rush, the San Francisco Earthquake, the Influenza Epidemic, the Civil Rights Movement, and Hurricane Katrina.

Welcome to Women & Spirit.
