EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating wood engraving from the late 19th century depicts Marie de la Peltrie, an influential French aristocrat and founder of the order of Ursulines in Quebec, Canada. Marie-Madeleine de Chauvigny de la Peltrie was a remarkable woman who dedicated her life to missionary work and education. In this print, we see Marie standing outside a teepee with a young girl by her side. The image beautifully captures the intersection between French and Indigenous cultures during the early days of New France. Marie's aristocratic background is evident in her elegant attire, while the presence of an American Indian child highlights her commitment to reaching out to different communities. Marie's passion for education is symbolized by the child she accompanies. As founder of the Ursuline order in Quebec, she established schools that provided girls with access to knowledge and opportunities they might not have otherwise had. Her mission was not only about spreading Christianity but also empowering women through education. This wood engraving serves as a testament to Marie de la Peltrie's enduring legacy as a pioneer in Canadian history. It reminds us of her unwavering dedication to improving lives and bridging cultural divides. Through this powerful image, we are transported back in time to witness the impact one extraordinary woman had on shaping society for generations to come.
