Watching Sister Act in memory of Dame Maggie Smith (RIP LEGEND) and thinking of how this joke absolutely went right over my 12 year old head đ¤ *The joke being "nun's bar" = "gay bar", or even worse a LESBIAN BAR, and also that many lesbians thru history prob took shelter in convents
I think the reason Fallout has never appealed to me, is specifically the 1950's aesthetic. Which isn't to say I need my post apocalypses to be like Mad Max, but the chronic lack of mutant sex convents and leather gimp cunt-men overlords is just too unrealistic.
Every time I answered "what is your thesis on" with "the conception of chastity among early English women religious" I would get the answer "Oh, yeah, medieval nuns! Didn't they used to have tunnels from the convents to the monasteries full of the graves of infants?" EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

This is what we used to have monasteries and convents for.
Back at it on a Wednesday morning and wondering if anyone has insights into what the practice of #earlymodern laywomen residing in convents would have looked like *architecturally*. I've got cases of multiple women in what the records refer to as "apartments." But where did these fit in spatially?
goals: set more convents on fire, set my people freeeeeeee

monasteries and convents were often imperfect, sometimes corrupt and even outright abusive. and yet: England and Wales did not have a permanent homeless population until their dissolution. and women's education (which was happening in convents) stopped for centuries after the dissolution
