This Will Be Remembered of Her<br />
Stories of Women Reshaping the World<br />
Megan McKenna<br />
Powerfully told stories of women who inspire love, courage, and hope<br />
After an unnamed woman anointed Jesus’ feet, he said,<br />
“Wherever the good news is preached in all the world,<br />
this will be remembered of her.” His words continue<br />
to ring true today about women of every culture and<br />
religious tradition. This Will Be Remembered of Her is a<br />
book about hope, courage, imagination, and compassion<br />
flourishing amid the challenges of daily life.<br />
Megan McKenna looks at the inspiring lives and words<br />
of notable women from both the past and the present,<br />
holding them up as examples of how a passionate<br />
desire for justice can shine in our hearts and our deeds.<br />
McKenna weaves together three strands — stories<br />
from Scripture, stories of select women from around<br />
the globe, and stories from religious, folk, and wisdom<br />
traditions worldwide — into one strong braid showing<br />
how life can be made more compelling, more communal,<br />
and more just for all people. She juxtaposes biblical<br />
women and contemporary women, exploring the reasons<br />
why each woman has been remembered. In the end she<br />
asks her readers this important question: How will you<br />
be remembered?<br />
“This book — and the women celebrated in it — cannot but<br />
stir us to courage and creativity, to compassion and the work<br />
of making the world more just and livable for all.”<br />
— Bishop Gabino Zavala<br />
President of Pax Christi USA<br />
