After reviewing your sources, choose at least one primary source and two to three secondary sources that will provide the best evidence to make your argument. One must be a primary source (something written or said about the person or topic at the time) and two scholarly secondary sources (something written by an expert in the field) such as a book or journal article. Please see How to Choose your Sources.
Then you will prepare an annotated bibliography. It should include a proper bibliographic entry and a short explanation of how it provides evidence for your argument. Below is an example.
Primary Source:
Boom, Corrie Ten, et al, The Hiding Place. World Wide Pictures, 1971.
Boom discusses her time in the Concentration Camps in Germany during WWII. This provides
a firsthand account of the hardships that she encountered.
Brown, Judith. Immodest Acts: The Life of a Lesbian Nun in Renaissance Italy.
Oxford UP, 1986.
Brown reveals that some nuns had intimate friendships (124), even
romantic relationships (156), within early modern European convents. They lived
in a protected, woman-centered community (201).
Matter, E. Ann, and John Coakley, eds. Creative Women in Medieval and Early Modern
Italy: A Religious and Artistic Renaissance. University of Pennsylvania Press, 1994.7
Matters argues that women in early modern convents had interests that
they could pursue in convents. Women in convents wrote their own plays and
music (60), and performed them for the public in their convents (65-66). They also
ran small businesses (selling produce, lace work, baked goods, etc.) from within
the convent that contributed to their livelihoods (150-165).
Wiesner-Hanks, Merry. Convents Confront the Reformation. Marquette UP, 1996.
Wiesner-Hanks demonstrates that there were hierarchies of female
leadership in early modern European convents. These hierarchies
allowedeven requiredsome women to become very educated in ways they
could not outside the convent (267). Convents held councils, nuns voted, and
leadership positions rotated among the nuns in the community (292). I was
surprised to learn that convent libraries contained many of the most important
spiritual, scientific, and philosophic works of the day (301).
