摘要:One of the most important aspects of Catholic feminization in 19 th century was the notable increase of female congregations, which joined to the most traditional enclosed orders. The femininity models of this time tended to imagine religious women, either as weak and fanatic individuals because of their confessors’ influence, or as innocent maternal angels who assisted to needy people in a selfless way. Both constructions hid the most radical side of female congregations and especially of their mother superiors. Ambition, authority and leadership were some of the elements that characterized these women lives. Through the cases of two congregation founders, I will reflect on their agency and discuss if these women can be qualified as feminists.
