Mrs Luther and Her Sisters
Derek WilsonPaperback 2016-03-18
Publisher Description
:It is a frequent complaint that women have been airbrushed out of history, their contributions forgotten, their voices silenced. In this superbly written book, historian Derek Wilson redresses the balance, showing how women were crucial to the Reformation. Working alongside men ? and sometimes in opposition to them ? women were able to study, to speak, to write, to struggle and even to die for what they believed, and to leave behind a record of all these achievements. From Catharina Luther, through English martyr Anne Askew to Elizabeth I and onwards out into Europe ? this book reveals the rich threads women brought to the tapestry of history.
