Reviews
"This is a fascinating, well-written, and suggestive account of the intersections of gender and genre in writing by and about religious women in colonial Mexico. . . . Sampson's overview of these women's narratives provides a wealth of information about the personal lives and thoughts of a doubly silenced group: cloistered religious women." Catherine Jaffe, Associate Professor of Spanish, Southwest Texas State University
