Women and Religion in England cover

Patricia Crawford demonstrates how the consideration of gender is central to our understanding of religious history. Women and Religion has three broad themes: the role and experience of women in the religious upheaval in the period from the Reformation to the Restoration; the significance of religion to contemporary women, focusing on the range of practices and beliefs; and the gendered nature of religious beliefs, institutions and language in the early modern period.

`... a book of great complexity and richness, at once both an effective general survey and a brilliant work of original scholarship on women and `radical religion' from 1640 to 1660. ... it is a treasure trove for teachers and scholars, and it deserves to be read widely.' - Eric Josef Carlson EHR

`Will certainly generate debate on the condition of women in the early modern period.' - History Today

`The implications of the author's argument are considerable.' - THES
