This collection of essays focuses on how women participated in and were shaped by monastic and religious life, emphasizing medieval and early modern gender history through a transatlantic lens.
Edited by Mercedes Pérez Vidal, the book results from a collaborative project examining the relationships between women and the religious, highlighting contributions from both Europe and the Americas.
The Société d'Études Interdisplinaires sur les Femmes au Moyen Âge et à la Renaissance organized the research project, aiming to explore the impact of monastic life on women.
The volume adopts a comparative geographical approach and is recommended for advanced scholars looking to deepen their understanding of women's roles in religious contexts.
