This collection of twelve essays explores the role of women and gender in a range of ‘radical’ religious movements of the post-Reformation. Organized into three themed divisions, the first examines the activism of female Quakers in their public performances as preachers and petitioners, in their global travels, and in their domestic lives: the second examines early modern prophetesses and their radical revisions of scripture, gender, body, and voice: and the third concerns women who, in diverse ways, crossed boundaries, including the confessional boundaries of Europe. Contributors include: Sarah Apetrei, Naomi Baker, Sylvia Brown, Ruth Connolly, Pamela Ellis, José Manuel González, Julie Hirst, Stephen A. Kent, Marion Kobelt-Groch, Bo Karen Lee, Kirilka Stavreva, and Sheila Wright.
