"The life of Cornelia Connelly tears to shreds the popular image of the nun's vocation as retirement from the world and its stresses into the tranquil shelter of the Convent enclosure. Her story makes a breach in the wall of religious custom as wide in its way as that of Florence Nightingale or Sylvia Pankhurst when they forced an entry into medicine and politics. She was torn from a happy world of retirement and seclusion and thrust into the limelight of gossip, litigation and scandal." - Introduction.
