Book Overview
""The Service of the Poor"" is a book written by Caroline Emelia Stephen in 1871. The book is an inquiry into the reasons for and against the establishment of religious sisterhoods for charitable purposes. Stephen examines the history and practices of religious sisterhoods, and she discusses the benefits and drawbacks of their work. She considers the role of women in charitable work and the potential benefits of establishing sisterhoods to provide care for the poor and sick. Stephen also addresses the objections to the establishment of religious sisterhoods, including concerns about their financial sustainability and their potential to undermine traditional gender roles. Overall, ""The Service of the Poor"" provides a thoughtful and nuanced exploration of the role of religious sisterhoods in charitable work and their place in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
