Feminism, Absolutism, and Jansenism chronicles seventy years of Jansenist clash and its complicated intersection with strength struggles among gallican bishops, Parlementaires, the Crown and the Pope. Daniella Kostroun specializes in the nuns of Port-Royal-des-Champs, whose neighborhood was once disbanded by means of Louis XIV in 1709 as a chance to the kingdom. sarcastically, it was once the nuns' adherence to their strict non secular rule and the appropriate of pious, blameless and politically disinterested habit that allowed them to problem absolutism successfully. Adopting tools from cultural stories, feminism and the Cambridge university of political inspiration, Kostroun examines how those nuns positioned gender on the middle of the Jansenist problem to the patriarchal and non secular foundations of absolutism; they replied to royal persecution with a feminist security of women's non secular and rational equality and of the autonomy of the person topic, thereby supplying a daring problem to the patriarchal and non secular foundations of absolutism.
