Description:
Women have been present in every crucial aspect of Catholic church life: in schools, hospitals, orphanages, missions, social services and monasteries. Most religious orders to which these women belonged carefully preserved the history of their origins and accomplishments. In Women and the Religious Life in Premodern Europe, Patricia Ranft synthesizes the most recent research on religious women. Starting with the fourth century birth of monasticism and continuing until the seventeenth century birth of the active congregation, Ranft's book puts to rest any lingering doubts about the pivotal role women have played in the development of Western culture and the Roman church.
