    Cities of women : a new history of utopia -- Mirrors of Our Lady : utopia in the medieval convent -- These most afflicted sisters : old and new futures in early modern English convents -- Not yet : aspirational women's communities beyond the convent -- Convents of pleasure : English women's literary utopias. English Womens Spiritual Utopias, 1400-1700: New Kingdoms of Womanhood uncovers a tradition of womens utopianism that extends back to medieval womens monasticism, overturning accounts of utopia that trace its origins solely to Thomas More. As enclosed spaces in which women wielded authority that was unavailable to them in the outside world, medieval and early modern convents were self-consciously engaged in reworking pre-existing cultural heritage to project desired proto-feminist futures. The utopianism developed within the English convent percolated outwards to unenclosed women's spiritual communities such as Mary Ward's Institute of the Blessed Virgin and the Ferrar family at Little Gidding. Convent-based utopianism further acted as an unrecognized influence on the first English womens literary utopias by authors such as Margaret Cavendish and Mary Astell. Collectively, these female communities forged a mode of utopia that drew on the past to imagine new possibilities for themselves as well as for their larger religious and political communities. Tracking utopianism from the convent to the literary page over a period of 300 years, New Kingdoms writes a new history of medieval and early modern womens intellectual work and expands the concept of utopia itself
