Sherri Franks Johnson explores the roles of religious women in the
changing ecclesiastical and civic structure of late medieval
Bologna, demonstrating how convents negotiated a place in their
urban context and in the church at large. During this period
Bologna was the most important city in the Papal States after Rome.
Using archival records from nunneries in the city, Johnson argues
that communities of religious women varied in the extent to which
they sought official recognition from the male authorities of
religious orders. While some nunneries felt that it was important
to their religious life to gain recognition from monks and friars,
others were content to remain local and autonomous. In a period
often described as an era of decline and the marginalization of
religious women, Johnson shows instead that they saw themselves as
active participants in their religious orders, in the wider church
and in their local communities.
