On The Knee Of The Church: Female Training In Romish Convents And Schools is a book written by Charles Sauvestre in 1869. The book explores the experiences of women who were trained in Roman Catholic convents and schools during the 19th century. Sauvestre provides a detailed account of the religious and educational practices that were prevalent in these institutions, and the impact they had on the lives of the women who attended them.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of female training in Roman Catholic institutions. Sauvestre discusses the role of the Church in shaping the lives of women, the strict discipline that was enforced in these institutions, and the various forms of religious instruction that were provided to the students. He also explores the impact of these practices on the mental and physical health of the women, and the ways in which they were prepared for their roles as wives and mothers.Throughout the book, Sauvestre provides a critical analysis of the practices and beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church, and raises important questions about the treatment of women in these institutions. He argues that the strict discipline and religious instruction provided in these schools and convents often had a negative impact on the mental and physical health of the women, and that they were not adequately prepared for their roles in society.Overall, On The Knee Of The Church: Female Training In Romish Convents And Schools is a thought-provoking and insightful book that sheds light on the experiences of women in Roman Catholic institutions during the 19th century. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of women's education and the role of the Church in shaping gender roles and expectations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
