This article provides a general overview of female house ascetics from the end of the 4th to the beginning of the 12th century, a long-established practice that has been canonically admitted and instituted liturgically since late Antiquity, but that historiography, polarized by the cenobitic life forms, has left in the shadows. It shows, from the example of the Jerome’s Circle of the widows, virgins and chaste couples of Rome and its environs, that there is a great deal of porosity between the different forms of consecrated life and that women's conversions are never isolated, but affects many members of a family and a household, affecting both women and men. The conciliar documentation, the hagiographic narratives and the charters attest the recurrence of the consecrated life of the women carried out in the world, in their own home, but also in symbiosis and in the service of the masculine communities. They allow to observe the setting up of two levels of distiction of the consecrated women. The first is relative to their social status, virgins or widows. The second concerns the type of commitment to ascetic life, that is, women who have simply publicly declared their intention to remain chaste and those for whom this has been sanctioned in a liturgical ceremony. The ceremony of "consecration-blessing" is analogous to that of marriage, velatio nuptialis. As evidenced by the various sacramentaries and pontificals, it is centered first on the handing over of the veil and then increased by the change of clothes, with differences that singularly distinguish the virgins of the widows, but also the women who are taken back to a monastery from those living in their own home, as in the Romano-Germanic Pontifical, towards the end of the tenth century.

Lay brothers and lay sisters—usually referred to as conversi and conversae—became a significant and very visible part of monastic life from the late eleventh century. The word conversus itself originally signified an adult convert to monastic life, as distinct from an oblatus, or child recruit to a monastery. But increasingly, the conversi and conversae of Western monasticism denoted a unique and sometimes quite multivalent status within an abbey or convent. Other Latin terms were sometimes used for these men and women, some of which are very general (such as laici, fratres, and sorores) and some of which denote difference on the basis of location (forinseci) or on the basis of physical appearance (barbati); a combination of these terms can also be used, such as fratres barbati. Confusingly for the modern historian of monasticism, some of these terms could occasionally also refer to men and women who were not lay brothers or lay sisters, but rather lay individuals or, in the case of fratres and sorores, monks and nuns.
