Daniella Kostroun focuses on the nuns of Port-Royal-des-Champs, whose community was disbanded by Louis XIV in 1709 as a threat to the state.

Adopting methods from cultural studies, feminism, and the Cambridge school of political thought, Kostroun examines how these nuns placed gender at the heart of the Jansenist challenge to the patriarchal and religious foundations of absolutism; they responded to royal persecution with a feminist defense of women's spiritual and rational equality and of the autonomy of the individual subject, thereby offering a bold challenge to the patriarchal and religious foundations of absolutism"--Provided by publisher. 000839977 60000 $$aLouis$$bXIV,$$cKing of France,$$d1638-1715$$xPolitical and social views. 000839977 61020 $$aPort-Royal des Champs (Abbey)$$xHistory$$y17th century. 000839977 650_0 $$aCistercian nuns$$zFrance$$xHistory$$y17th century. 000839977 650_0 $$aJansenists$$zFrance$$xHistory$$y17th century. 000839977 650_0 $$aPatriarchy$$zFrance$$xHistory$$y17th century. 000839977 650_0 $$aFeminism$$zFrance$$xHistory$$y17th century. 000839977 650_0 $$aDespotism$$zFrance$$xHistory$$y17th century. 000839977 650_0 $$aReligious absolutism$$zFrance$$xHistory$$y17th century. 000839977 651_0 $$aFrance$$xPolitics and government$$y1643-1715. 000839977 651_0 $$aFrance$$xReligion$$y17th century. 000839977 852__ $$bebk 000839977 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=674659$$zOnline Access 000839977 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:839977$$pGLOBAL_SET 000839977 980__ $$aEBOOK 000839977 980__ $$aBIB 000839977 982__ $$aEbook 000839977 983__ $$aOnline
