Book cover: She Who Is by Elizabeth JohnsonIn the early 1990’s, as I pursued my studies for my Doctorate in Educational Leadership at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, I learned how significant it was to balance my education and research by finding and reading works written by women as well as men.  Here are three women who continue to influence me as I strive to be a thoughtful, contributing member of our Edgewood College and Sinsinawa Dominican Communities.  Enjoy one of these when you are looking for some inspiring and challenging spiritual nourishment!
