Substantially the same as in modern times. the apostolates included education and health care- hospitals and hospices, as is now the case. In some cases Noblewomen took to the veil and there were such things as Princess-Abbesses who almost had the authority of a male Bishop- but only among the female Religious. They had elaborate ceremonial robes and did carry the Crozier. The last of these Women who were almost Bishops died out around maybe the teens or the twenties in the twentieth century. They were most common in German-speaking countries such as Austria and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Individual convents may still exist founded by these religious noblewomen, but there are no living Princess-Abbesses to may knowledge in 20l2 AD. There were some as late as the teens, however. Probably their tombs can be visited.
