Mary Anne Schimmelpenninck

-
MAS , who issued her first publication in 1813, has period interest as an aesthetic theorist and a religious writer, an apologist for the French Jansenist movement connected with Port Royal , and later for the Moravians . Each of these groups of believers offered an example of religious leadership by women. She also has enduring interest as an autobiographer.
Stipple engraving of Mary Anne Schimmelpenninck by Fisher after a photograph by Henry Adlard, published 1858. She is sitting, wearing a tall, frilled cap and, it seems, both a shawl and a jacket over her dress. A scarf at her neckline has pinned to it a cross of the type called "cross pattée".
