The Demands of Rome / Her Own Story of Thirty-One Years as a Sister of Charity in the Order of the Sisters of Charity of Providence of the Roman Catholic Church

The memoir recounts the author's thirty-one years in a Roman Catholic sisterhood, tracing her early life, novitiate, and long service as a nurse and superintendent at a hospital, detailing daily routines, sacraments, institutional discipline, and internal conflicts among sisters. She describes fundraising and begging missions, a trip to the general mother house, the process of vows and dispensation, and disputes that led to her removal and eventual emancipation from the order. After leaving she documents her legal settlement, reception by Protestant allies, reflections on the care of elderly sisters, and appends supporting documents and illustrations to corroborate her account.
