St Marguerite Bourgeoys (1620-1700) is a key figure in Canadian and religious history. Patricia Simpson goes behind the myth and hagiography surrounding Marguerite Bourgeoys to reveal her true character. The text documents her life in France and in the struggling settlement of Ville-Marie, present-day Montreal, placing her life within the larger historical context of the time and highlighting the role of women in society and the church.
