Probably contracted it before, or was abused by someone with it before she became a nun. Lots of women that were victims of abuse were shuttered away in convents to hide what was done, or were sent there for their own protection. Not a good time to be a woman

History shows us it's rarely a good time to be a woman.

History being, I cannot think of a time ever when it was really that great for a woman. Like how did humans even keep existing? We suck
