Eileen O'Connor
'''Eileen Rosaline O'Connor''' (19 February 1892 – 10 January 1921) was an Australian Roman Catholic and the co-founder of the Society of Our Lady's Nurses for the Poor religious order – also known as the Brown Nurses – to provide free nursing services to the poor. Eileen suffered from a severe curvature of the spine and was - at best - tall, although for much of her life she could not stand or walk. It is now known that she suffered from spinal tuberculosis (TB) and transverse myelitis (an inflammation of the spinal cord). It was through her own hardship that the idea of founding a nursing order for the poor came to mind. Both she and her fellow co-founder Fr Ted McGrath faced initial difficulties in recruiting others to the order but in the end managed to grow an order of nuns who were dedicated to their vision of care for the poor. But allegations of misconduct between McGrath and O'Connor - later quashed - prevented McGrath's return to Australia which left O'Connor in the position of leading the group of nurses.O'Connor had been lauded as a saint in the decades after her death and there were calls for her beatification process to be introduced. Initial steps were taken in 1974 and additional steps in 2018 in order to launch the official investigation into her reputation for holiness. Provided by Wikipedia
