Marguerite Bourgeoys Et La Congrégation De Notre Dame, 1665-1670

Patricia Simpson is coordinator of research services at the Marguerite Bourgeoys Museum in Old Montreal, the author of Marguerite Bourgeoys and Montreal, 1640-1665, and co-author of Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours: A Chapel and Its Neighbourhood.

"In Simpson's unprecedented biography, Bourgeoys is shown to be one of the outstanding figures - and quite possibly the outstanding woman - of the founding generation of New France." Elizabeth Rapley, University of Ottawa "A powerful biography offering a creative and realistic rethinking of the life of Bourgeoys that challenges uncritical assessments." Mark McGowan, St Michael's College, University of Toronto
