Have you seen the movie, "The Magdalene Sisters" ? It is a very moving film about the laundries. The last one In Ireland closed down in the 90's .The American d.v.d included a documentary featuring women , who actually worked in them.I am a Catholic but the Laundries are another blight on the history of the church. I don't know if the church ever apologized to the women , who suffered horribly in them. Definitely watch the movie, it is heartbreaking !!! |

I'd recommend the books: Do Penance or Perish by Frances Finnigan and The Magdalen Manuscript by Tom Kenyon.
Also the website http://www.netreach.net/~steed/magdalen.html |

Most of the other answerers have given excellent answers, so I won't repeat what they have said.
However, you might like to visit a former Magdalen laundry, and there is one in Limerick, the old Good Shepherd Convent. It's now part of a college, and the old church is used as an exhibition space. |

Busybee is back!

hi , id have to agree with what Orla C said, she is spot on and there would be no point in me repeating either, yes the good shepherd convent was probably the last to close down. |

Hi, Dont know of any books as such but there was a film released in the past few years called "The Magdalen Sisters". Quite graphic if you havent seen it. I am sure you will have access to other sources from there. If you cant get the film in the UK, email me at tommyo84@hotmail.com and I will get one for you. PS thats Letter "o" between the y and the 8 - as opposed to a zero. |

Just one more example of the Catholic church's hatred of women, oppression of women and repression of women. How could any rational woman take part in this misogynistic and outdated religious organization! I could not. |
