Women and Religion in England: 1500-1720 (Christianity and Society in the Modern World)





Women and Religion in England focuses on women's religious experience in the early modern period, and demonstrates in the process the gendered nature of religion--its beliefs, institutions, and discourse. While contemporary religious ideology reinforce the assumption that women were inferior to men, Patricia Crawford illustrates that it was possible for some women to transcend these beliefs.

Crawford addresses--among other issues--women's roles in the religious upheaval of the Reformation, civil wars, and Commonwealth; and the significance of religion to contemporary women and their range of practices and beliefs. In her wide-ranging study, Crawford takes full advantage of the latest in gender scholarship.
