註釋The original nunsploitation novel! In the 1830s, mentally deranged Canadian Maria Monk (1816-1849) was sent to a Roman Catholic asylum for prostitutes in Montreal. When it in 1834 was discovered that she was pregnant, she was thrown out of the asylum. Maria Monk joined up with the Reverend William K. Hoyt , a fanatical anti-Catholic, and together they cooked up "Awful Disclosures." Inspired by Rebecca Reed's "Six Months in a Convent," published one year prior, Hoyt turned Monk's feverish, imaginary tales into a semi-pornographic novel about sexual abuse, violence and devilry in the nunnery nearby the asylum. "Awful Disclosures," believed to be a true story, became a phenomenal bestseller during the American Civil War.
