As part of the 800th anniversary celebration of the Order of Preachers, Sister Barbara Beaumont, OP has published this fascinating book about the history of the Dominican nuns. The book is a collection of talks and conferences about the history of Dominican women given in various locations in recent years (USA, France, Belgium ). We are excited to be able to make this book available here in the USA as this book is from Fanjeaux, France, the cradle of the Order of Preachers.
