This thesis looks at the material and spiritual events which led to the founding of Our Lady's Nurses for the Poor (OLNP), popularly known as the Brown Nurses, and at the powerful contestations which followed this creative and surprisingly transgressive act. OLNP was founded in April 1913 by Eileen O'Connor, a young disabled Irish Australian, with Fr Edward McGrath, MSC, to serve the sick poor in Sydney ... This history certainly indicates that the Irish Australian Catholic world was not the stable authoritative patriarchal monolith it appeared to be, even or especially to its enemies, (and its children), but was a highly contested and conflicted realm, where women and men, laity and priests argued, allied, related, feared and desired. Love certainly drives this history, in a narrative full of passionate attachments, longings, needs, friendships and Catholic romances.
