Picked this up at the interfaith library booksale today - it caught my eye because I recently learned about St Edith's work on empathy while researching my thesis. It reads a bit, but not too much, like hagiography.

I hadn't realized what an accomplished philosopher she was - her work in academia seems remarkable to me, given the times.
