Were there nuns and abbesses in attendance at Vatican II?

Nuns at Vatican II.


What was the role of women religious at the Council?

I don't know.  Were they there as observers?  Were they seated? 

I know when I was in school, the sisters had us pray for the success of the Council - but I don't know if women were represented by women in any way.  Abbots were in attendance, but I don't know if abbesses or religious superiors were.  Anyone?

Just curious.
