Synopsis

Even though historians all agree that Maria Monk's claims are false, the book is still interesting to read. Maria Monk may have been a 19th century nun who had several sexual liaisons, while in the convent. She or a ghostwriter wrote Awful Disclosures about these experiences. Awful Disclosures of Maria Monk, or, The Hidden Secrets of a Nun's Life in a Convent Exposed was published in 1836. She claimed that Sisters of Charity of a Montreal convent were forced to have sex with the priests from the seminary next door. She said there was a secret tunnel connecting the two. If a baby resulted, it was baptized and then strangled and put in a lime pit in the basement.

The author of this book was a small, slender, uneducated, and persecuted young woman, who sought refuge in our country without a protector; but she showed the resolution and boldness of a heroine, in confronting her powerful enemies in their strong hold, and proved, by the simple force of truth, victorious in the violent conflicts which were waged against her by the Romish hierarchy of America and the popular press of the United States.
