- Description
- This book is a study of convent theatre in Italy, an all-female tradition. Widespread in the early modern period, but virtually forgotten today, this activity produced a number of women dramatists and works of unusual merit. Convent authors, actresses and audiences, especially in Tuscan houses, the plays written and produced, and what these reveal about the lives of convent women are the focus of this book.

- Description
- This examination of convent life paints a portrait of the women who led mostly hidden lives of work and prayer between the late 15th and early 18th centuries. The author tells how nuns of this period engaged in such creative pursuits as writing, music, the visual arts and theater. Some even wrote spirited defenses of their gender, confronting the prevailing view of women as less than men (although at least one of these—Teresa of Ávila—had her words on the subject censored from the published version of The Way of Perfection). Evangelisti also deals with a darker side of convent life: that of women being forced by their families to become nuns because of the few opportunities available to women of that time. She also points out that, for others, becoming a nun was a suitable alternative to marriage.

- Description
- Originally published in hardcover in 2014. The beguines began to form in various parts of Europe around 1200. Beguines were laywomen, not nuns. They were never a religious order or a formalized movement, but shared common elements as visionary spirituality, business acumen, and commitment to the poor and sick. The book describes the history of beguines across Europe, beguine ministries, beguine spirituality and compassion, beguines as preachers, performers and writers, and if beguines were heretics.
