Imagining Women's Conventual Spaces in France, 1600–1800: The Cloister Disclosed - Women and Gender in the Early Modern World

This title focuses on two pivotal events: the Council of Trent imposing strict enclosure on cloistered nuns, and the French Revolution expelling them from their cloisters two centuries later.
