Conclusion

From: Storming the Old Boys’ Citadel

$0.90

In the Conclusion, the authors reflect on the legacy of Mother Joseph and Louise Bethune work more than 100 years after their deaths. The chapter explores how these women were able to storm the old boys’ citadel with little support and few allies and how they should serve as an inspiration to young women today. The conclusion then launches into an argument for historic preservation arguing that preservation can provide a more traditional way of sharing history with the general public, and the preservation of places such as the Providence Academy and the Lafayette Hotel ultimately showcases how women, although lost in the shadows of history, have had significant roles in making and shaping their communities.
