Louise Bienvenue & Guy Laperrière, « ‘Sans elles, le collège ne serait pas ce qu’il est’ : Le travail des Petites Sœurs de la Sainte-Famille dans les collèges classiques au Québec ». Histoire sociale/Social History, vol. XLVII, no 93 (Mai/May 2014), p. 5-35.

In “‘Sans elles, le collège ne serait pas ce qu’il est’: Le travail des Petites Sœurs de la Sainte-Famille dans les collèges classiques au Québec,” Louise Bienvenue et Guy Laperrière offer a careful and thorough analysis of the work of the Little Sisters of the Holy Family (PSSF) Petites Sœurs de la Sainte-Famille (PSSF) in the classical colleges of Quebec before the Quiet Revolution. More specifically, Bienvenue and Laperrière show us the spiritual significance of the work of PSSF in colleges and its economic contribution, revealing the story of a little-known congregation in Quebec historiography of education and religious communities but where it played an important role. In this very well structured and well written article, the authors address a rarely studied subject that is rich in women’s history, by effectively and judiciously using various secondary and primary sources that are in evidence in its analysis.
