Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Catholic Social Tradition has concentrated on the labor of white males and assumes a patriarchal structure. But where are women in most papal documents and commentaries on them? Where is the home? Where are women of color, and where are women who toil in non-unionized sectors such as domestic work? Where are the women in the teachings aimed at achieving justice for migrants? These essays, written for this collection, examine these issues and use the framework of Catholic Social teaching as a context for broadening the understanding of the Church’s teaching and of scholarship.
