Kloosters waren erg belangrijk in de Amerikaanse geschiedenis. Het Smithsonian Museum had daar enige tijd geleden zelfs nog een expositie over, "Women & Spirit: Catholic Sisters in America."
From the time the Ursulines arrived in New Orleans in 1727 up to today, women religious have made an incalculable contribution to this nation. Running schools, hospitals and orphanages from America's earliest days, these women helped foster a culture of social service that has permeated our society. Over the centuries these courageous women overcame many obstacles--both physical and cultural--to bring their civilizing and caring influence to every corner of the country. Understanding and celebrating the history of women religious is essential to understanding and celebrating the history of America.

Noem eens op wat muzelminas met hoofddoeken zoal bijgedragen hebben aan; "Running schools, hospitals and orphanages ... civilizing and caring influence ...! in onze contreien?
