Description:
|
The Catholic Church produced an enormous volume of written material designed to ensure the servility of nuns. The author finds that practice often diverged from theory. She analyzes how 17th- and 18th-century nuns formed alliances and friendships in defiance of Church authorities' efforts to contain and control them.
