Limiting Vocational Choices of Women

I am indexing a book, Priestly Resistance to the Early Reformation for a friend. On page 1 is, to me, an interesting line:

This book will be a new volume in the series "Religious Cultures in the Early Modern World", published by PICKERING & CHATTO. Currently there are 14 volumes in this series.

 

Oh it's still an option for Reformed types.

Protestant nuns at the union of France's Reformed and Lutheran churches earlier this year:

Jerome, interesting, thanks. Do you know when their order was founded?

 

There are two in those pictures. The ones in the blue habit are:

The Reformed sisters in the brown habit are

I understand and appreciate your reply. What I am curious about is when were the first Protestant Nun orders founded? Were they founded during the Reformation or in more modern times?

 

Info on those two groups is in the links:wavey:
