Feminism, Absolutism, and Jansenism examines the role of the nuns of Port-Royal-des-Champs in the Jansenist struggle against absolutism.

Trade Review
"While of interest to scholars, the book's clear explanation of basic tenets and figures in Jansenism makes the work accessible to nonspecialists. Recommended." -Choice
"...those who follow lines of power and social influence will find much here to digest." -William Beik, The Journal of Modern History
