what kind of question is this???
idk
Nuns (actually they are sisters, though "nuns" is commonly used for teaching sisters as well) belong to different religious orders which are distinguished, among other things, by the habit they wear. The habit with the bonnet resembles the historic habit of the Sisters of Charity, the order founded by Elizabeth Ann Seton. However, I can never recall seeing a nun in such a habit and suspect that by 1964 even that order was wearing a more conventional habit. I speculate that it was chosen for its effect of sustaining a slightly sinister air about the principal.

What challenges did the nuns in the order called Sisters of St. Joseph face?
The Ursulines are Sisters not nuns. They were founded in the sixteenth century and were the very first Order that was founded that was not composed of cloistered nuns, instead they were founded for the education of young girls so the Sisters were not to be cloistered but to be out in the community. There was Episcopal opposition to a religious order of women that was not strictly cloistered, at that time.
