Some years ago, a young lady made a few waves by graduating with high honors from Harvard. It wouldn’t have been that huge a deal except…she announced she was going to become a (contemplative) nun.

If we’re talking about the same woman, the young woman’s name was Mary Ann Marks. She would join the Sisters of Mary Mother of the Eucharist. It’s a Dominican order that has grown from four nuns a couple of decades ago to hundreds. Shocking that they are conservative and joyful. Who would have thought?
