The Testimony Of An Escaped Novice From The Sisterhood Of St. Joseph, Emmettsburg, Maryland (1855) is a book written by Josephine M. Bunkley. The book is a first-person account of Bunkley's experiences as a novice in the Sisterhood of St. Joseph, a Catholic religious order based in Emmettsburg, Maryland. Bunkley describes the strict rules and regulations that the novices were subjected to, including long hours of work and prayer, as well as physical and emotional abuse from the nuns. She also details the harsh living conditions and the lack of freedom that the novices experienced. Bunkley's testimony sheds light on the inner workings of the Sisterhood of St. Joseph and the challenges faced by those who sought to leave the order. The book provides a valuable historical perspective on the treatment of women in religious orders during the mid-19th century.The Mother-House Of The Sisters Of Charity In The United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
