Alice Lady Lovat has written an historical biography that delves into the life of Louise de Marillac, a 17th-century French noblewoman who co-founded the Daughters of Charity with St. Vincent de Paul. The Daughters of Charity became one of the most influential religious communities dedicated to serving the poor and sick.
Lovat provides a detailed account of Louise de Marillac's spiritual journey, her commitment to social reform, and her role in shaping the charitable landscape of France during her time. The biography offers insights into her personal struggles, her dedication to education and healthcare for the underprivileged, and her partnership with St. Vincent de Paul in establishing a lasting legacy of service.
This book is particularly valuable for readers interested in religious history, the development of charitable organisations, and the lives of women who have made significant contributions to society.
