A friend of mine showed me a musical piece written by Sr. Kathy Sherman with the Congregation of St. Joseph. It shares the story of women in religious life and the outpouring of support for them, and it is too moving not to share.
Her story was recently covered by The New York Times and can be found here.

Love cannot be silenced.

Dancing along side by side
With a Gospel vision to lead us
And Holy Fire in our eyes.
