"The convents, asylums, and laundries that once comprised the Magdalene institutions are the subject of this examination of "Magdaleneism." The book focuses on the devolution of the significance of Mary Magdalene as a metaphor for the organization: from an affluent, strong supporter of Jesus to a simple, fallen woman"--Provided by publisher.
