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.
