Sanctified Subversives. Nuns in Early Modern English and Spanish Literature, Unabridged ed, Hardback/Horacio Sierra

As chaste women devoted to God, nuns are viewed as the purest of the pure. Yet, as females who reject courtship, sex, marriage, child bearing, and materialism, they have been the anathema of how society has proscribed, expected, and regulated women: sex object, wife, mother, and capitalist consumer.
