Summary
"Until alarmingly recently, the Catholic Church, acting in concert with the Irish state, operated a network of institutions for the concealment, punishment and exploitation of 'fallen women'. Caelainn Hogan--a brilliant young journalist, born in an Ireland that was only just starting to free itself from the worst excesses of Catholic morality--has produced a startling and other moving account of how an entire society colluded in this repressive system, and of the damage done to survivors and their families"--Page 4 of cover.
