In 1977 Lyn accepted a position at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago. She writes: "I was called on to do a great deal of international travel in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Faculty at CTU have a recognized and respected platform for advocacy on issues of justice and peace from a Catholic base. Working on these issues in union with members of other religious orders and dedicated laity was a tremendous advantage. I was able to contribute to the life of the international Church in a privileged way.
These were also years in which the role of women in the Church was coming under scrutiny, and I was deeply involved, both academically and personally. The writing of Beyond Anger in 1984-1986 was a personal journey in which I worked out for myself how to live through the awareness of the marginalization and mistreatment of women in the Church and turn that awareness into something creative. Over the years, many people, not only women, have told me that it has been helpful to them in various experiences of oppression."
