Nuns played a crucial role in medieval society by serving as educators, caregivers, and leaders within their communities. They established and operated convents that often functioned as centers for learning, healthcare, and the preservation of knowledge through manuscript copying. Additionally, nuns engaged in charitable works, providing assistance to the poor and sick, which strengthened social cohesion and support networks. Their contributions helped shape religious, cultural, and social life during the Middle Ages.
