| Description: |
Elizabeth Hayes (1823-94) is a woman whose personal life and achievements are of significance in both British and North American religious, social and literary history. Born on the Island of Guernsey, she embraced the Oxford Movement, the Wantage Anglican sisterhood, Catholicism and the Franciscan movement when a neo-monastic revival found enthusiasts in both the Catholic Church and in Anglicanism. Strongly committed to living a Franciscan way of life, as foundress, teacher, religious sister and journalist, Elizabeth's desire for mission in foreign places fired her with a courageous determination. Concerned for the poor, she had a bold and broad vision yet her capacity to mingle comfortably with key religious and literary figures of the period in England, Paris, Rome and North America set her apart. In the 'age of journalism', she ventured confidently into an arena where most women writers struggled for acknowledgement and even took on male pseudonyms in order to succeed. This was the cornerstone of the ultimate success of Elizabeth's mission through journalism, a mission that responded exactly to the needs for Catholic evangelism following the great migrant influx (1825-50) in North America. |
