| Summary: | The Dominican Sisters have been in Nigeria for over 30 years. While there, they have performed a wide variety of tasks: nursing, midwifery, catechetical instruction, and some jobs not found in any dictionary of professions. Their main job, however, has been to serve as models of modern women. The author asserts that they have been performing post-Vatican II work from pre-Vatican II days. Reasons for this fact are examined, and differences between male and female mission orientations are examined. Salamone's paper is the result of field work and oral histories taken from returned missionaries in Great Bend, Kansas, in July 1985. |
