Project Gutenberg 2010-04-28 Public domain in the USA. 95 Michelet, Jules 1798 1874 Michelet, J. Du prêtre, de la femme et de la famille. English Priests, Women, and Families Translation of: Du prêtre, de la femme et de la famille Produced by Al Haines "Priests, Women, and Families" by Jules Michelet is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work critiques the influence of the Jesuits and the impact of religious authority on the lives of women and families during a turbulent period in France. Michelet’s exploration is grounded in the historical context of the 17th century, focusing on themes of religious direction, the role of women within the family structure, and the psychological dynamics at play between genders in a patriarchal society. The opening of the text establishes a critical tone as it discusses the relationship between the Jesuits, women, and children. Michelet highlights the manipulative roles that Jesuit priests played in guiding women's lives and exerting a profound influence over families. He outlines the historical backdrop of religious reaction in the 1600s, marked by a mix of gentleness and ferocity, and delves into specific narratives, such as that of St. François de Sales and Madame de Chantal, to illustrate the complexities of spiritual direction and its emotional ramifications for women. The author effectively sets the stage for a broader examination of the interplay between ecclesiastical authority, familial bonds, and societal expectations, suggesting that the struggles faced by women during this era are a reflection of deeper moral and existential crises within society.
