<descriptiondescriptionType="Abstract">There are archival records of women in the Golden Age seeking divorce from their husbands while living in a convent, which may seem unusual today.
So I am interested in exploring why a woman in the early modern period would enter a convent and seek a divorce from there. I present identities, different examples and motivations that help to understand this dynamic.
