Maria Monk, one of the most infamous names in American anti-Catholicism, was the author of Awful Disclosures of Maria Monk (1836). In her book Monk detailed the years she spent in a Catholic convent in Montreal, Canada.

Her story became almost an instant best seller. There was only one problem—the entire book was made up.
