The Journalism contribution for NARA investigates Silavoto davatkynas, a preserved pious women community in Lithuania, documenting over a century of communal life among religious women who challenged societal stereotypes through acts of service, care, and prayer, resisting a soviet regime. The story reframes the pejorative term ‘davatka’ (prude, pious woman), spotlighting the community’s vital contributions through the lense of catholic feminism.
