Reviews

"I wonder why no one else has explored this subject in this way and I thank Mita Choudhury for having done so. Convents and Nuns in Eighteenth-Century French Politics and Culture deserves high marks for originality and readability."-Jeffrey W. Merrick, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee "Convents and Nuns in Eighteenth-Century French Politics and Culture offers stimulating new insights into debates over women's roles in eighteenth-century France, the place of women in the Catholic Church, and the significance of gender in the political thought of that period."-Jeremy Popkin, University of Kentucky
