Rebellious Nuns - Chowning, Margaret (Associate Professor of History, Associate Professor of History, University of California, Berkeley)

Nuns are hardly associated in the popular mind with rebellion and turmoil. Drawing on letters written by the bishop and local vicar and nuns of both factions, this title aims to give us the voices and the personalities of the nuns. It appreciates the complicated dynamics of having committed your life not only to God, but to your community.
