Opis

Tells the remarkable story of a group of nuns who travelled halfway around the globe in the seventeenth century to establish the first female Franciscan convent in the Far East. Drawing from a manuscript from one of the nuns, other archival sources, and rare books, this study offers a fascinating view of travel, evangelization, and empire.
