Zusammenfassung:"In this book, the author focuses on three Congregation superiors - Marie Barbier, Marie-Josephe Maugue-Garreau, and Marie Raizenne - and examines the social, spiritual, and administrative dimensions of their lives against the backdrop of medieval and Catholic Reformation Europe and seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Canada. Exploring the private aspects of power within the convent as well as its public face through the convent's relationship with the wider social, church, and governmental structures, she reveals the paradoxes inherent in the position of a female superior within a male-dominated church structure."--BOOK JACKET.
