Book Synopsis The Congrégation de Notre-Dame, Superiors, and the Paradox of Power, 1693-1796 by : Colleen Gray
Book excerpt: Nuns have often been portrayed as nascent feminists wielding an exceptional amount of power. In this formative study of the Congrégation de Notre-Dame - a religious community of uncloistered women established in Montreal in 1657 - Colleen Gray presents a more nuanced view of the foundations and exercise of power within the convent.
