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.
