           I find interesting how Francoise and Julie had respect for all individuals regardless of age, gender, disability or social class. Also gave a chance to people who were unable to receive education get one. In the reading it talks about how Julie had chronic sclerosis when she met Francoise and with Julie's condition the face that they were able to achieve so much is amazing. They were both alive during the French Revolution, where many people were uprising. When Francoise was a teenager she would visit homes in other countries with her grandmother. Her and her grandmother checked up the the well being of the workers. Franciose fought for the right of women to be leaders and to choose whether they wanted to have sex or not. She argued if women never had sex they can still take leadership roles. Because at the time Francoise lived in a time where men can only do and take on leadership roles. Julie was different from Francoise , Julie grew up in a farm. Trying to make ends meet with her family and was way over stressed. Julie and Francoise meet after Francoise was released from prison. They met in Amiens 1794. Together the shared a friendship that no one really quiets understand but they were formed a new order of nuns and they formed the sisters of Notre dame.
