Forgotten Women: In Convents is a non-fiction book written by Helen Conroy that sheds light on the lives of women who have been forgotten and overlooked in history: nuns who lived in convents. The book explores the experiences of these women who devoted their lives to religious service and the challenges they faced in a male-dominated society. Conroy delves into the history of convents, the reasons why women joined them, and the daily routines and practices of convent life. She also examines the impact of convent life on women's mental health and the ways in which convents have been used as a tool of oppression. Through interviews with former nuns and extensive research, Conroy brings to life the stories of these forgotten women and offers a new perspective on the history of women's religious service.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
