    ⛪️'The Life of #Nuns: Love, Politics, and Religion in #Medieval #German #Convents' by Henrike Lähnemann & Eva Schlotheuber is now available!

    Explore the vibrant world of medieval nuns and their profound impact on society.

    Henrike Lähnemann and Eva Schlotheuber offer readers a vivid insight into the largely unknown lives and work of #religiouswomen in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Using previously inaccessible personal diaries and letters, as well as #tapestries, #paintings, #architecture and music, the authors show that the #nuns were, in fact, an active, even influential part of #medieval society.

    Now, for the first time in centuries, this account by Henrike Lähnemann and Eva Schlotheuber allows the voices of these remarkable women to be heard outside the #cloister and to invite us into their world.
