The Life of the Venerable Louise de Marillac: Mademoiselle Le Gras is a biographical book written by Alice Lady Lovat. The book tells the story of Louise de Marillac, a French Catholic social worker who lived in the 17th century. Louise was born into a noble family but was orphaned at a young age. She became a nun and later founded the Daughters of Charity, a religious order dedicated to serving the poor and sick. The book explores Louise's life and work, including her struggles with illness and poverty, her relationship with Saint Vincent de Paul, and her dedication to helping others. It also delves into the political and social context of 17th-century France, providing a detailed picture of the challenges faced by women and the poor during this time. Overall, The Life of the Venerable Louise de Marillac: Mademoiselle Le Gras is a compelling and informative read for anyone interested in the history of Catholicism, social work, and women's rights.1917. This life of Louise de Marillac owes its special interest to the fact that its author was Rector of the parish of St. Laurent, in which the holy foundress spent the last ten years of her life; it may therefore be looked upon as based on firsthand knowledge. It is, however, short and leaves much of her history untold.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
