    <mods:abstract>Female religious communities and individual women religious confronted the monastic suppressions in late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth century Italy by actively negotiating with authorities both during and after the suppression decrees. The lack of the voices of the suppressed women religious in current scholarship has led scholars to argue for top-down, predetermined reorganization and destruction of religious life in Revolutionary and Napoleonic Italy. A comparison of the three main suppression decrees reveals, instead, an evolving approach to religious institutions during this period. The petitions by women religious underscore how compromise and accommodation characterized the interactions between female communities and local and central authorities. The suppression of monasteries was not done to monastic women unilaterally; rather, these women actively negotiated the suppressions to optimize the outcome for their communities and for themselves.</mods:abstract>
