Beguines were laywomen, not nuns, and thus did not take solemn vows and did not live in monasteries. The beguines were a phenomenal movement that swept across Europe yet they were never a religious order or a formalized movement. But there were common elements that rendered these women distinctive and familiar, including their common way of life, their unusual business acumen, and their commitment to the poor and marginalized. These women were essentially self defined, in opposition to the many attempts to control and define them.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 274.04082 Sw Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 274.04082 Sw Checked In Add Copy to MyList
