Abstract

The purpose of my project was to obtain original texts written by a woman named Maria Theresia Ledochowska. She was an Austrian woman, living at the turn of the nineteen century to the twentieth century. She was the foundress of an organization under the sanction of the Catholic church, which embrace the cause of missionary work in Africa, as well as the abolishment of slavery. Like the texts of many early woman authors, her work has largely been ‘left on the self to gather dust.’
