The Golden Door: The Life of Katharine Drexel is a biography written by Katharine Burton about the life of Katharine Drexel. It tells the story of a woman who was born into a wealthy family in Philadelphia in 1858 and devoted her life to helping others. Drexel used her family's wealth to create schools and missions for Native Americans and African Americans in the United States. She also founded a religious order, the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, to carry on her work. The book explores Drexel's motivations and the challenges she faced in pursuing her mission, including opposition from some members of the Catholic Church. It also examines the impact of her work on the communities she served and the legacy she left behind. Overall, The Golden Door is a comprehensive and inspiring portrait of a remarkable woman who dedicated her life to social justice and service to others.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
