In this study of the manner in which medieval nuns lived, Penelope
Johnson challenges facile stereotypes of nuns living passively
under monastic rule, finding instead that collectively they were
empowered by their communal privileges and status to think and act
without many of the subordinate attitudes of secular women. In the
words of one abbess comparing nuns with monks, they were "different
as to their sex but equal in their monastic profession."
