Specificatii
When it appeared in 1989, Untold Sisters was the first general
introduction to Hispanic convent culture published in the United
States. Since then, much has been learned about the links among
women of differing cultures, orders, and convents, their networks
and support systems, their conflicts and rivalries.Most nun-authors
lived in convents and were subject to multiple mechanisms of
control. They found ways to negotiate, however, the repressive
machinery of ecclesiastic and state institutions. Untold Sisters
underscores how role models such at St. Teresa of Avila aided
nun-authors in intertwining their personal beliefs with dogma,
regardless of their social situations. At the same time that they
wanted proximity to God, they sought to authorize speech, both oral
and written.Historical changes and geographical distance alter the
meanings of written words. The language used by the nuns was common
to the writers' regions, generations, and even their particular
religious orders. Without this knowledge, it is easy to mistake
words or modes of expression--quite common or particular in meaning
to an entire community, city, or epoch--as unusual or original.As
in the first edition, the authors first study and then anthologize
some representative nuns' writings, which are presented in
modernized Spanish and English. Revealed here are the
contradictions of female monastic life: repression and liberation,
obedience and rebellion, conformity and individuality.
