Redefining Female Religious Life

- French Ursulines and English Ladies in Seventeenth-Century Catholicism

About Redefining Female Religious Life

In an effort to avoid polarization condemning conventual life as restrictive or hailing it as a privileged path towards spiritual perfection, this book analyses the reasons which led early-modern women to found new congregations with active vocations. Were these novel communities born out of their founders' rejection of the conventual model?
