Franciscan at Home

Megan Madden is a homeschooling mother with a passion for writing and speaking on authentic femininity and virtuous womanhood. In 2017, she began graduate studies in marriage and family at the International Theological Institute in Austria. After moving to Kraków, Poland to work with university students, Megan more personally continued her research on the complementarity of man and woman, particularly on the question of what it means to be a woman. She delved into the study of renowned Catholic writers on women such as St. Edith Stein, Gertrude von le Fort, Alice von Hildebrand, St. John Paul II, and St. Teresa of Avila. The results were the development of Megan’s online ministry, A Mother’s Lace, as well as speaking opportunities and her new book from Ascension Press, Mary, Teach Me to Be Your Daughter: Finding Yourself in the Blessed Mother. Megan lives outside of Oxford, England with her husband, who is a lecturer in theology, and their five children.
