PIONEERING WOMEN OF MONTREAL (1642 -– 1771)
Come meet truly exceptional women who participated in the founding, survival and influence of Ville Marie, the former French colony now known as Montreal.
Among others, you will meet: Jeanne Mance, nurse and co-founder of the city, and Marguerite Bourgeoys, the colony’s first teacher, matchmaker and founder of the first truly Canadian religious order. Without these strong, avant-garde trail-blazing visionaries, the metropolis of Montreal might not have become what it is today.
