Sister Molly Cleary, a tough, no-nonsense nun from a poor, southside Chicago Irish-Catholic family, understands women’s struggles all too well. Faced with a choice between motherhood and the convent, she chooses religious life but never forgets that her mother died in childbirth after too many pregnancies, leaving nine-year-old Molly and her six siblings motherless. As Vatican II and the women’s liberation movement blow gale-force winds of change through the Catholic Church and wider society, Sister Molly awakens to a stark reality: without control over their reproductive choices, women are powerless to control any aspect of their lives. She realizes the Catholic doctrines prohibiting birth control, reproductive freedom, and divorce are morally outrageous, endangering countless lives. Fueled by righteous fury, Sister Molly embarks on a courageous fight for women’s rights within the Church’s patriarchal power structure. She faces fierce opposition and accusations of heresy, but her unwavering determination to empower women makes her a heroic beacon of hope for those yearning for change. Inspired by a true story, OUTRAGE is captivating historical fiction that explores: •\tThe clash between tradition and progress within the patriarchal Catholic Church •\tThe power of one woman’s voice to challenge social and religious injustice •\tThe enduring fight for women’s reproductive rights
