Convents in early modern Europe (1500–1800) absorbed many unmarried and disabled women as nuns.[1] France deemed convents as an alternative to prisons for unmarried or rebellious women and children.[2] It was also where young girls were educated as they waited to be married.
During the 17th century, over 80,000 women lived and were educated in convents.[3][4] Nuns never received monetary compensation. They served without salary, surviving on charity.[5] Although many young girls lived in the convents, they were not nuns. Every European Catholic city had at least one convent and some had dozens or more.[6]
