Spanish and Latin American nuns of the 17th century found creative freedom in their cells and solidarity in their solitude.  Unruly Mujeres weaves together a variety of texts created by four women from different convents to create a rich portrait of the imagination that thrived in their works despite the gender and religious hierarchies of the age.  This piece is a celebration of four women’s talents and daring. These are their stories in their own words.
