small history lesson: the main reason for women's death in the past was due to the complications of childbirth, and considering that their main task was to have children on children, many did not reach 40 years, or if they arrived there were reduced to pieces.
Paradoxically, the women who lived better and longer were precisely the nuns, who, although they did a withdrawn life, had to endure much less physically (moreover, the nuns from rich families had a lot of comfort and facilities, and not even they were required all this great attachment to religion or to abandon social life in a complete way) the stress of continuous pregnancies.
So going to a convent was more of a blessing than torture, thrust me!
