5.0 out of 5 stars One of my all-time favorites, 5 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Immodest Acts: Life of a Lesbian Nun in Renaissance Italy (Studies in the History of Sexuality) (Paperback)
If you are interested in Renaissance Italy, gender studies, or the history of the Christian Church, this book is for you. This book presents the story of an ambitious abbess on the road to sainthood a la Catherine of Siena and her fall from grace as she becomes too powerful for the comfort of her male collegues. It is the story of the making and unmaking of a saint. This is one of my favorite books of all time.
