Maisie Ward

    Mary Ward était une écrivaine, éditrice et conférencière dont l'œuvre explorait souvent des thèmes religieux et spirituels. Issue d'une famille catholique de premier plan, elle devint connue comme cofondatrice de la maison d'édition Sheed & Ward. Sa production littéraire comprenait des biographies de personnalités notables telles que G.K. Chesterton, ainsi que des ouvrages sur l'exégèse du Nouveau Testament et la spiritualité. Les activités et les publications de Ward ont anticipé nombre des idées qui allaient émerger du Concile Vatican II.
