In this new bio-graphy,students will follow Agnes Gonsha Bojaxhiu from her humble Albanian birth to worldwide celebrity as Mother Teresa.The nun who attended to the dying and diseased in Calcutta,India and established her Missioneries of Charity around the world is revelaed to have a singular determination from a young age.As a woman in the patriarchal Catholic system,she had to prove to the heirarchy,even the Vatican,that she was capable of handling each project she proposed.Her vision to live and work among the "poorest of the poor" led to the founding of a new order that tended to society’s outcasts. This biography suggests that Mother Teresa transcended her ordinariness with a belief that she was called to her life’s work.When her work brought Mother Teresa unsought fame,she used it to further her causes.In a global age,celebrity worship allowed her to work the system and she became an icon of service and selflessness-yet her human flaws remained behind the saintliness.This narrative chronicles the expansion and success of Mother Teresa’s orderer and the eventual attention that was showered on her efforts.This increasing attention led to scrutiny and criticism of her ideology,methods of care,and financing.The accusations of hypocricy,among others are discussed as is her controversial beatification.Readers will be challenged to consider for themselves whether Mother Teresa deserves to be sainted.
