This just might make you smile

A blog about global feminism may be many things, but a humor factory it is usually not. The stories we post here often leave me thoughtful, angry, or sad, but rarely amused. I really wanted to post this story, therefore, about a 17th century nun who defied gender norms and played by her own rules. Sister Mary Ward sounds like an intelligent, funny and entertaining woman. And I can't help but laugh at the fact that the same church that imprisoned her and called her a heretic is now considering giving her their highest honor- canonization. I hope her story makes you smile too
