How did St. Angela set up her company of Ursulines?
St. Angela Merici founded the Ursulines in 1535 at Brescia, Italy. They were originally women who lived in their own homes, placed themselves under the care of St. Ursula, vowed virginity, and devoted themselves to Christian education. In 1572, Pope Gregory XIII imposed a simple rule and the beginning of a community life. The Ursulines of Paris in 1612 were allowed by Pope Paul V to adopt solemn vows and to reside in strict cloister.
How are the Ursuline sisters important?
The Ursulines are mainly sisters, not nuns. The Ursulines are the oldest teaching order of religious women in the Catholic Church, founded at Brescia, Italy, by St. Angela Merici in 1525. They were approved by Pope Paul III in 1544 as a society of virgins, dedicated to Christian education but living in their own homes. In 1572, Pope Gregory XIII further approved their community life and simple vows at the request of St. Charles Borromeo. In 1612 the Ursulines of Paris were allowed to take solemn vows, and convents along these lines were soon established elsewhere, following a modified Rule of St. Augustine. In 1900 a congress of Ursulines met in Rome and effected a union of many congregations. These take simple vows, but some independent convents take solemn vows. There are twenty-five pontifical institutes of Ursulines, besides those belonging to the Roman Union. from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc.

What was the shared goal of the Jesuits and the Ursulines?
The Ursulines were founded by St. Angela Merici in 1535, they were the first Order of Sisters devoted exclusively to education, and were the first congregation of women to be formally organized in North America. The Society of Jesus, commonly known as the Jesuits, were formed a year earlier, in 1534, by St. Ignatius Loyola with six companions, with the purposes of combating the protestant revolt, missions, and education. The Jesuits form their members through a long period of education, and a retreat based on St. Ignatius' Spiritual Exercises. The Ursulines used to use a similar formation process.
