Of the twenty-one convents for women established in New Spain's capital during the colonial period, eleven were created between 1540 and 1601. This rate of foundation was exceptional in comparison not only to other regions, but to the city's own later history. Thus the sixteenth century was an era in which the establishment of monastic and quasi-monastic houses for women was a particularly urgent theme of the colonial experience: a period, moreover, in which women's monasticism went from being enlisted on behalf of the missionary effort to helping create the colonial society of New Spain. |
