Cathy Crosby

A Good Catholic Girl Cathy Crosby

Not that long ago, the professional, political, religious, social, and personal spheres of daily living were all dominated by men, and women were, for the most part, denied entry. Since that time, many doors have been opened for women, but not quite all the way.

A Good Catholic Girlis Cathy Crosby's inspired, existential account of the struggles she faced in the patriarchal society of mid-twentieth century America. A sensitive and sincere look at important social issues, it tackles reproductive rights, family pressures, marital discord, single parenthood, career, and race. Based on her experiences, she shares transformation and hope rather than presenting a political or religious position.

Sometimes solemn and sad but tempered with Irish wit and New York humor, it is sure to entertain, enlighten and inspire men and women to respect and honor their freedom in all areas of their lives.
