What were the contexts and audiences for an outpouring of writings by Spanish and colonial Latin American nuns in the 16th and 17th centuries? How does one bring their life stories, poems, visions, and letters to view for 21st-century, English-speaking readers, who often “know” a great deal about convent life that is untrue or incomplete?
