RELIGIOUS WOMEN IN GOLDEN AGE SPAIN

Women and Gender in the Early Modern World

In the past decade, the study of women and gender has offered some of the most vital and innovative challenges to scholarship on the early modern period.

Submissions of single-author studies and edited collections will be considered.

For Dave

Contents

This project has a long genesis and has incurred many debts along the way. My first thanks go to three extraordinary mentors. As an undergraduate history major at Lawrence University I benefited from the advice and encouragement of Anne Jacobson Schutte. She was the first to suggest graduate school as a possibility and then helped me prepare for the experience by supervising my honors project on Teresa of Avila and her confessors. I am grateful for her continuing support of my academic career. At Indiana University the inspired and lively scholarly example set by Dyan Elliott in her publications and classes challenged and encouraged me. To Helen Nader, my dissertation director, go a world of thanks. Hers is an example I can only hope to approximate. She is an exemplary scholar, a compassionate advisor, and a truly remarkable woman.

I was also fortunate enough to make lasting friendships at Indiana University. Kathy Hutnik, Michele Thomas, Virginia Picchietti, Gerry Sherayko, Debbie Gershenowitz, and Paul Murphy all had a hand in this project by making my time in graduate school more personally rewarding.

I have been greatly aided in my work throughout this project by grants and fellowships. They include a Grant-in-Aid of research from the University Graduate School at Indiana University; a J. Stewart and Dagmar K. Riley Graduate Fellowship from the College of Arts and Sciences at Indiana University; an Andressohn Fellowship for the study of early modern European history and two Grants-in-Aid of Research from the Department of History at Indiana University; a Womens Studies Grant from the Womens Studies Program at Indiana University; a Bernadotte E. Schmitt grant from the American Historical Association; a National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Stipend; two subvention grants for research from the Program for Cultural Cooperation Between Spains Ministry of Education, Culture, and Sports and United States Universities; and faculty development funds from Cleveland State University.

In Spain I benefited from the generosity and openness of various archives and libraries. I am grateful to the staffs of the Biblioteca Nacional, Archivo Histrico Nacional, Archivo General de Simancas, Archivo Provincial de Valladolid, Archivo Municipal de Valladolid, Biblioteca de Santa Cruz, and Biblioteca de El Escorial. Besides access to the tremendous historical legacy of Spanish religious women, Spain also brought new friends into my life. Ellen Sackelman, Charlene Villaseor Black, Jess Escobar, John Sweet, and Paul Allen made my year of dissertation research a joyous adventure.

My research in Spain was made infinitely easier by the support and assistance of several scholars. I especially thank Heath Dillard for the insights and advice she offered me before I set out for Spain. While in Spain, Adeline Rucquoi graciously spent an afternoon with me, sharing her wealth of knowledge about Valladolid.

Before it was a book, this project was a dissertation. My dissertation group at Indiana University supported and challenged me during the writing-up process. Tom Cragin and Willard Sunderland deserve special thanks for providing exacting and constructive criticism liberally sprinkled with good humor and engaging conversation. Thanks, too, to the other members of my dissertation committee, Muriel Nazzari and Arthur Field.

My family has supported me unswervingly. Offering financial assistance, encouraging me to stay the course, and cheering me on, I have never doubted their love and enthusiasm for my endeavors.

At Cleveland State I have enjoyed collegial and institutional support. Don Ramos, my department chair for seven years, never failed to communicate enthusiasm for the project and ushered me painlessly through my first years at the university. My colleagues in the Spanish program at CSU, Jos Labrador and Angel Zorita, have supported my work and provided the occasional cure when I was homesick for Spain. For searching obscure titles and delivering what must have seemed like a constant stream of books, I also owe tremendous thanks to the OhioLink and Interlibrary Loan office at CSU and its dedicated staff.
