Convent Life in Colonial Mexico: A Tale of Two Communities
Stephanie L. Kirk
The Catholic Church produced an enormous volume of written material designed to ensure the servility of nuns. Reading this body of proscriptive literature alongside nuns' own writings, Kirk finds that practice often diverged from theory. She analyzes how nuns formed alliances and friendships in defiance of Church authorities.
