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?
Contents: Introduction; The birth of the new phenomenon of the teaching nun; The improper institutions of troublesome women; Religious change and the politics of gender; Serving the Church in the classroom; Pushing the boundaries of female ministry; Serving Martha and Mary: Modus Vivendi; Modernity and tradition: imitating the cloister; To leave God for God's sake: the apostolate as self-abnegation; Conclusion; Appendices; Bibliography; Index.
