So, I 'googled' some images of "Six Months in a Convent" and here's the most interesting one I found. After completing the preliminary bibliography, I realized how much work this is actually going to be. I'm not sure if it's gotten intimidating yet, but I know what I need to do (and read) to do the best possible attempt at this research paper and it will definately take dedication. There will be so much investisgating. I decided to speak to the Priest at the Catholic church I attend and see if he can provide any knowledge or even opinions on the history of this debate. I attempted to research articles on the web and realized immediately how impossible that task is; this book is almost invisible in the context of history, at least in modern historical accounts. I wonder what that could be saying about "the church keeping this 'underwraps.'"

Hi Leslie, You might want to start with articles. The editor of the edition you are using has one article in PMLA that is worth reading right away, and her introduction to the text is excellent. By beginning there, you can then narrow your focus. The image you found is great! Also, you might be interested to know that Toni Morrison's _Paradise_, which we'll be reading for LIT 3383, is loosely based on this historical incident. LML
