Reviews

Scott's deep dive into three centuries of notarial and diocesan archives is truly impressive. Her writing is crisp and concise. Scott admirably succeeds in reconstructing the history of a group of exceptionally autonomous women who found purpose, esteem, and economic stability in the spaces between the religious and the secular. * Bulletin of Spanish Studies *
