Convent Wisdom: How Sixteenth-Century Nuns Could Save Your Twenty-First Century Life
2025
Overview
In Convent Wisdom, Garriga and Urbita weave together the stories of nuns (mainly of the 16·-century Spanish variety), and modern-day quandaries like the dynamics of female friendship, work-life balance, and body image issues, with their own story as Ph.D. students/best friends/hosts of Las hijas de Felipe, a popular Spanishlanguage podcast on this topic. Yet they also show that life, whether lived in a convent or in grad-school housing, requires sisters (or brothers or siblings) who will walk through it with you. [...]if the nuns don't have the answer, Garriga and Urbita do; their example proves that perhaps friends and community can help just as much.
