Maisie Ward

    Mary Ward fu una scrittrice, editrice e oratrice il cui lavoro si addentrò spesso in temi religiosi e spirituali. Proveniente da una stimata famiglia cattolica, divenne nota come co-fondatrice della casa editrice Sheed & Ward. La sua produzione letteraria includeva biografie di figure di spicco come G.K. Chesterton, nonché opere sulla critica del Nuovo Testamento e sulla spiritualità. Le attività e le pubblicazioni di Ward anticiparono molte delle idee che sarebbero poi emerse dal Concilio Vaticano II.
