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. 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. 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. 517 3 $aFeminism, Absolutism, & Jansenism 606 $aCistercian nuns$zFrance$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aJansenists$zFrance$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aPatriarchy$zFrance$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aFeminism$zFrance$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aDespotism$zFrance$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aReligious absolutism$zFrance$xHistory$y17th century 607 $aFrance$xPolitics and government$y1643-1715 607 $aFrance$xReligion$y17th century 615 0$aCistercian nuns$xHistory 615 0$aJansenists$xHistory 615 0$aPatriarchy$xHistory 615 0$aFeminism$xHistory 615 0$aDespotism$xHistory 615 0$aReligious absolutism$xHistory 676 $a273/.7 700 $aKostroun$b Daniella J.$f1970-$01708797 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910806245003321 996 $aFeminism, absolutism, and Jansenism$94098042 997 $aUNINA
