This project re-writes the history not just of the previously ignored medieval Cistercian nun but of the medieval Cistercian monastic institution more broadly. Using English Cistercian women as case studies, it will produce two major breakthroughs. First, it will demonstrate that the history of the Cistercian religious order looks very different when analysed with issues of gender to the fore. Second, it will reconfigure our understanding of this classic monastic institution according to the principles of centre-periphery relations. Both outcomes produce new strategies for creating histories of marginalised groups that are not premised on the histories of the dominant groups.

这个项目不仅重写了以前被忽视的中世纪西多会修女的历史，而且更广泛地重写了中世纪西多会修道院机构的历史。以英国西多会妇女为个案研究，将产生两个重大突破。首先，它将表明，历史的西多会宗教秩序看起来非常不同，当分析与性别问题的前列。其次，它将根据中心-边缘关系的原则，重新构建我们对这一经典寺院制度的理解。这两种结果都产生了新的战略，创造了边缘化群体的历史，而不是建立在主导群体的历史之上。
