These early years in New France marked a special period in her life. Firmly committed to the belief that the world would be a better place if people learned to understand one another, she worked to build a better church and a better society, especially for women and children. Marguerite Bourgeoys's life story teaches us about tolerance and compassion, ideals that are no less important now than three centuries ago.McGill-Queen's Studies in the History of ReligionChristian saintsCanadaBiographyNunsQuébec (Province)BiographyCanadaHistoryTo 1763 (New France)Montréal (Québec)History17th centuryChristian saintsNuns282.092Simpson Patricia1937-1695091MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807421803321Marguerite Bourgeoys et Montréal, 1640-16654074105UNINA
