'An excellent introduction to the religious vision of the Poor Clares, with a thorough and up to date bibliography.' Glasgow Women's Library

Review
"Wood's carefully crafted volume makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the art and architecture of the nuns of early modern Italy....Wood's book does much to expand our knowledge of convent life." Andrea Pearson, The Sixteenth Century Journal

"Wood's Women, Art, and Spirituality: The Poor Clares of Early Modern Italy is a slight, elegant treatise on nuns in late medieval and Renaissance Italy who were very much agents of their own religious milieu. Wood's graceful explication of texts, art, and architecture is a model for historians and art historians alike. Her literate style...should be copied by dissertation-writers everywhere." Lisa M. Bitel, Journal of Women's History
