Dr.
Anita Marie Caspary (November 4, 1915, Herrick, South Dakota – October 5, 2011, Los Angeles, California) was the only woman in American history to hold the positions of Mother General of an order of Catholic sisters and the first president of a Christian ecumenical community.
Under her leadership over 300 sisters relinquished their canonical status and religious vows and formed the new Immaculate Heart Community of California.
This was the largest exodus of Catholic sisters in U.S.
history.
Acknowledged as a transformative leader in the post Vatican II Catholic Church, she was featured on the cover of TIME Magazine February 23, 1970.
