Sister Maria has found peace in the habit, though not every nun or visitor to the convent sees her choice in the same light. As best as she might try, some of her Sisters cannot be convinced that the habit will bring them any good, leaving Maria and the convent behind them.
The Nun and The Lesbian feel the same pressures of patriarchy and fetishisation, as well as the inherent rejection and isolation that comes with it. Through the series the two existences become one as McCurdy reflects on their alternative life path, the one led to the convent rather than university. See all items with this value -
Two nuns, one sitting while the other standing behind them. The standing nun has hand both hands on the other nun's shoulder, a rosary is draped from the hands and rests on the chest of the sitting nun. The sitting nun looks into the camera while the standing nun is caught looking at the sitting nun.
