This book is a tremendous achievement—the comparative scarcity of sources on any aspect of medieval Irish history was compounded by the great fire in the PRO of 1922, and so sources dealing with medieval Irish women, whether Gaelic or Anglo-Irish, are vanishingly rare. Hall has combed through a vast variety of sources in order to produce the first ever full length treatment of Irish women and religion in the high and late Middle Ages. In clear prose and with a common-sensical evaluation of the evidence, Hall examines the people, patrons and estates of medieval nunneries, and argues for the existence of strong ties between the nuns and their surrounding lay communities. She makes judicious use of demographic and comparative analysis, and doesn't try to over-egg her argument. An incredibly valuable, and highly recommended, book for anyone interested in this topic.

A major study of women and the medieval Irish church, this book includes groundbreaking investigations of medieval nunneries in Ireland, their personnel, patrons, buildings and estates and their strategies for ensuring the productivity of their resources. The author argues for the existence of close ties between the supposedly cloistered nuns and the surrounding lay communities. Medieval women not among the small number who actually joined nunneries channeled their pious energies towards such activities as patronage of local churches and monasteries, pilgrimage and requests for papal and Episcopal privileges. These pious activities are examined in detail and placed within their European context. This exploration into a previously neglected aspect of the history of monastic and church life in medieval Ireland is a major contribution to the history of women in Ireland and Europe.
