In Three Centuries of Girls' Education, Mary Anne O'Neil offers
both an examination and the first English translation of Les
Reglemens des religieuses Ursulines de la Congregation de Paris.
Published in 1705, Regulations is the first pedagogical system
explicitly designed for the education of girls. It is also one of
the few surviving documents describing the day-to-day operations of
early Ursuline schools. O'Neil traces the history of the document
from the writings of the Italian foundress of the Ursulines, to the
establishment of the religious order in Paris in 1612, to the
changes in the organization of Ursuline schools in
nineteenth-century France, and, finally, to Mother Marie de St.
Jean Martin's spirited defense of the traditional French Ursuline
method after World War II. In the eighteenth century, New Orleans
Ursulines used the Regulations as a guide to establish their
schools and teaching methods. Overall, O'Neil's history and
translation recover a vital source for historians of the early
modern era but will also interest scholars in the fields of
education history and female religious life.
