Book Description:

Examines the role of the nuns of Port-Royal-des-Champs in the Jansenist struggle against absolutism. Paradoxically, it was the nuns' adherence to their strict religious rule and the ideal of pious, innocent and politically disinterested behavior that allowed them to challenge absolutism effectively, creating a feminist defense of women's spiritual and rational equality and of the autonomy of the individual subject.
