In this rich and definitive study, renowned scholar Merry E. Wiesner-Hanks explores the history of women and the Reformations in full for the first time. Wiesner-Hanks travels the globe and explores women’s experiences as monarchs, mothers, migrants, martyrs, mystics, and missionaries, revealing that the story of the Reformations is no longer simply European—and that women played a vital role.
“With women rather than men standing front and centre . . . [Wiesner-Hanks] encourage[s] us to see familiar themes with new eyes.”—Peter Marshall, Literary Review
