Masterless Mistresses: The New Orleans Ursulines and the Development of a New World Society, 1727-1834 (Published by the Omohundro Institute of Early ... and the University of North Carolina Press)
Description:Clark follows the history of the Ursuline nuns of New Orleans through its years as a French colony, then a Spanish one, then as part of the U.S. after the Louisiana Purchase. The French Ursulines gained prominence in New Orleans through the social services they provided, which also allowed them a self-sustaining level of corporate wealth. The unmarried nuns contravened both the patriarchal republican order of the slaveholding American South and the Protestant construction of femininity that supported it. Clark’s analysis joins the French and Spanish colonial history of Louisiana with the English colonial history of the settlers along the Atlantic to create a more complete picture of the whole of early America.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
