Women of Faith and Religious Identity in Fin-De-Siecle France

Explores a moment of intense religious upheaval and transformation in France between 1880 and 1920. During this time, women became increasingly involved in faith-based organizations, engaging in social and political action both to expand women's rights and to ensure that religion remained part of the public debate about France's identity.
