CASTRO CARVAJAL, BEATRIZ. The Writing of French Traveling Nuns in the 19^th Century. Anu. colomb. hist. soc. cult. [online]. 2014, vol.41, n.1, pp.91-126. ISSN 0120-2456.  https://doi.org/10.15446/achsc.v41n1.44765.

The main objective of this article is to present and describe the travelogues and "letters-diaries" written by French nuns at the time when they founded and expanded their missions in the 19th century. The article focuses on the case of the French religious congregation of the Sisters of Charity of the Presentation, whose first mission outside Europe was established in Colombia in 1873. The study of these travelogues reveals new aspects of the realities faced by these 19th century nuns that lead us to rethink the feminine religious world.
