AT YOUR SERVICE

Wit and an affection that grows with every nun she meets, veteran reporter (and Lucy Syke's co-author on TECHBITCH) Jo Piazza profiles ten nuns and investigates what makes these strong women tick.

These Women are Busy: busy fighting for the ordination of women, for the rights of gays and lesbians, busy confronting Wall Street CEOs, busy advocating for victims of sex slavery. Piazza uncovers the childhood memories and early religous influences that steeled their collective backbones and finds herself freshly equipped with ideas about how to make every day count. Piazza is a regular contributor to the Wall Street Journal, The New York times, Glamour, The Daily Beast, and Slate.
