Mary Ward was one of the most original and interesting women of the 17th century. She adapted the Jesuit constitutions as the rule for a new sort of religious community - independent, international , self-governing, not confined to the convent, part of the reform of the church. In the face of firce opposition from the Vatican, the Jesuits, and the hierarchy and clergy, Mary was excommunicated and her community suppressed. The Institute survived, but without the key elements envisaged by its founder - until efforts at unity over the last 100 years have realised her goals.
