About the author

Virginia Nixon teaches Art History in the Liberal Arts College of Concordia University, Montreal.

Summary

Today many Catholics know Saint Anne as the mother of the Blessed Virgin and the protector of women in labor, but few know how she came to be a figure of devotion. Mary's Mother brings her story to life for general readers as well as scholars and students of history, art history, religious studies, and women's studies.
