Summary
  1. "The seventeenth-century Protestant women discussed in this book range across the religio-political and social spectrums, and yet all display an affinity with modern feminist theologians. Rather than being victims of a patriarchal gender ideology, these women were both active negotiators of gender and active participants in wider theological debates. By placing women's religious writing in a broad theological and socio-political context, Erica Longfellow challenges traditional critical assumptions about the role of gender in shaping religion and politics."--Jacket.
