Answer: St Louisa de Marillac was St Vincent de Paul's right hand in founding the Sisters of Charity, subsequently being called the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul, a congregation of laywomen dedicated to teaching and hospital work.

Because they were neither enclosed nor called nuns, their concept pioneered in bringing women into religious service outside the cloister. The congregation was the first non-cloistered religious institute of women devoted to active charitable works.
