Falon Williams's Reviews > Convent Wisdom: How Sixteenth-Century Nuns Could Save Your Twenty-First-Century Life

This was a fun, lighthearted exploration of sixteenth century nuns and the many ways in which they dealt with issues the modern woman still experiences. It should be noted that you won't find an in-depth scholarly examination of the lives and histories of convent life in the 16th century. It's more like a charcuterie board of historical facts about interesting nuns. I would say the self help part of the book is rather weak. I did like the way the authors made connections between the nuns of the past and our lives today, and there was some comfort in knowing that they had comparable, albeit more extreme, struggles.
