The book explores the significant yet often overlooked contributions of women during the Catholic Reformation in France. Hillman reconstructs the devotional practices of a network of influential women, highlighting how they navigated their Catholic faith alongside their positions in the aristocracy. This perspective challenges the traditional notion that the Catholic Reformation was solely a male-driven movement, showcasing the complex interplay between gender, religion, and power during this transformative period.
