The Brookland Commission, comprised of eight women of different religious congregations, began in 1988 with a discussion of the roles of women religious in higher education. The discussions culminated in 1992 in a national conference held in Washington and a collection of papers, titled Women Religious and the Intellectual Life, published in 1995.
