Grateful for her work,
By
This review is from: Medieval English Nunneries, C. 1275 to 1535 (Paperback)
Power's work has set the tone and prepared the ground for future scholars and admirers of English nunneries. The debt owed to her is immense. She offers an "interdisciplinary" examination of medieval religious women and their world as well as the laws and social mechanisms which influenced and were influenced by them. Although recent scholarship has corrected some of her assertions, Eileen Power remains the standard work in the field.

Eileen Power on Medieval Nunneries in England,
By PJ Amas (Portland, Oregon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Medieval English Nunneries, C. 1275 to 1535 (Paperback)
First published in 1922, this book is rich in well-researched details that will bring the medieval nunnery to life. Scratch the surface of a habit and you'll find a very human woman. Medieval English Nunneries is an entertaining and enlightening read. I read a library copy then had to buy it for my collection. I am pleased it's still in print.
