Immodest Acts
The life of a lesbian nun in renaissance Italy
The discovery of the fascinating and richly documented story of Sister Benedetta Carlini, Abbess of the Convent of the Mother of God, By Judith Brown was an event of major historical importance. Not only is the story revealed in Immodest Acts that of the rise and fall of a powerful woman in a church community and a record of the life of a religious visionary, it is also one of the earliest documented cases of lesbianism in modern Western history.
