New Critical Studies on Early Quaker Women, 1650-1800
New Critical Studies on Early Quaker Women, 1650-1800 takes a fresh look at archival and printed sources from England and America, elucidating why women were instrumental to the Quaker movement from its inception to its establishment as a transatlantic religious body.
This authoritative volume, the first collection to focus entirely on the contributions of women, is a landmark study of their distinctive religious and gendered identities. The chapters connect three richly woven threads of Quaker women's lives―Revolutions, Disruptions and Networks―by tying gendered experience to ruptures in religion across this radical, volatile period of history.
Includes a Foreword by Elaine Hobby.
