Monica Baldwin (1893–1975) was a British writer, a niece of British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, who was a canoness regular for 28 years. After leaving her enclosed Order, she wrote of her experiences in a series of books which received a widespread audience at the time, giving the first direct account of life in a Religious Order, from a former member, in that period. ==Life== Baldwin joined an enclosed monastery of Augustinian canonesses in 1914, a few months before the beginning of World War I. Ten years later she began to think she had made a mistake but it was another 18 years before she left, convinced that she "was no more fitted to be a nun than to be an acrobat."〔 After 28 years of consecrated life there, she made the decision to leave the life, and requested dispensation from her religious vows, which was granted by the Vatican. She left on 26 October 1941, during the Second World War 〔(''Time Magazine'', 30 January 1950, "Monica's Coming Out" )〕
