The authors, Henrike Lähnemann and Eva Schlotheuber, delve into various aspects of convent life, including education, family dynamics, music, and the impact of the Reformation. The work draws from unique historical sources, such as a convent diary and a collection of letters, to provide insight into the nuns' experiences and their resistance to Lutheran reforms.
