Margaret Anna Cusack passed into obscurity for a long time, until as a result of Vatican II, religious orders were encouraged to review their roots and the intent of their founders. Since then there have been a number of studies on Cusack, such as Sister Philomena McCarthy's The Nun of Kenmare: The True Facts. With the rediscovery of the life and times of Margaret Anna Cusack, she has been hailed as a feminist or not, and a social reformer ahead of her times.
