Eileen O'Connor

Eileen
Despite physical disability and constant pain, Eileen O'Connor was feisty and outgoing: a magnetic person whose brief life was remarkably fruitful. Eileen was undeterred by opposition from several high ranking churchmen and she inspired courageous followers to commit their lives to serving the sick poor in their homes. This innovative work is part of the social fabric of Australian history of the early 1900's and ranks Eileen alongside such as Caroline Chisholm and Mary MacKillop.
Eileen O'connor - a Saintly Inspiration
In transcending her own dreadful physical suffering that resulted from a childhood injury, Eileen O'Connor discovered a vocation to help the sick poor. With this mission she co-founded Our Lady's Nurses for the Poor, a religious order of Catholic sisters, in 1913. Hers is a story of empowerment, personal struggle, and a love of humanity. Today we would call her a feminist. Through her story we catch deep glances into moments of Australian history, the role of women in society, workings of the Catholic Church, but above all we find a saintly inspiration. Eileen O'Connor inspired others to join in her work, and to develop their spirituality. A series of meditations, reminiscences and reflectio...

Eileen
LONGLISTED FOR THE 2016 MAN BOOKER PRIZE Fully lives up to the hype. A taut psychological thriller, rippled with comedy as black as a raven's wing, Eileen is effortlessly stylish and compelling. - Robert Douglas-Fairhurst, The Times The Christmas season offers little cheer for Eileen Dunlop, an unassuming yet disturbed young woman trapped between her role as her alcoholic fatherâe(tm)s carer in his squalid home and her day job as a secretary at the boysâe(tm) prison, filled with its own quotidian horrors. Consumed by resentment and self-loathing, Eileen tempers her dreary days with perverse fantasies and dreams of escaping to the big city. In the meantime, she fills her nights and weekends...
Agent Rose
The life and poignant death of one of Britain’s bravest women. Eileen Nearne, or Agent Rose, was one of forty women sent into France by the Special Operations Executive (SOE), Churchill’s top secret wartime ‘spooks’ organisation.
Our Lady of Coogee
This thesis looks at the material and spiritual events which led to the founding of Our Lady's Nurses for the Poor (OLNP), popularly known as the Brown Nurses, and at the powerful contestations which followed this creative and surprisingly transgressive act. OLNP was founded in April 1913 by Eileen O'Connor, a young disabled Irish Australian, with Fr Edward McGrath, MSC, to serve the sick poor in Sydney ... This history certainly indicates that the Irish Australian Catholic world was not the stable authoritative patriarchal monolith it appeared to be, even or especially to its enemies, (and its children), but was a highly contested and conflicted realm, where women and men, laity and priests argued, allied, related, feared and desired. Love certainly drives this history, in a narrative full of passionate attachments, longings, needs, friendships and Catholic romances.

“This tragicomic novel is heartfelt, touching, and delightfully quirky. You’ll fall in love with the offbeat cast of characters (both living and dead) and find yourself rooting for them right through the last page.”—Good Housekeeping (Book Club pick) A lost young woman returns to small-town New Hampshire under the strangest of circumstances in this one-of-a-kind novel of life, death, and whatever comes after from the acclaimed author of Rabbit Cake.

Both funny and sad, the kind of story we like best. Natural-born h...
