• dc.description.abstract This research explores the adaptive strategies employed by Conversas (Christian women of Jewish origin) and Moriscas (Christian women of Muslim origin) in navigating adversity, particularly in their interactions with inquisitorial authorities in the early modern Crown of Aragon. This study analyses these women’s efforts to uphold religious and dietary laws while confronting religious violence and preserving contested identities from a comparative perspective. Through an examination of religious practice preservation, coping mechanisms and negotiation tactics, this study unveils the resilience inherent in these communities. Additionally, this study also examines the dual process of negotiation within familial and communal contexts, as well as when confronting the Inquisition. Drawing from various historical sources, including both manuscripts and early modern editions - most notably royal decrees, municipal records, regional statutes and decisions of the Cortes, as well as inquisition trials - the research offers insights into the role of gender and female authority in shaping religious identities within premodern Mediterranean society.en
