- Description
- The primary subjects of this book are three icons of black female spirituality and religious activism: Jarena Lee, Sojourner Truth, and Rebecca Cox Jackson. All three of these women are usually identified solely within the Protestant Christian tradition and their mystical activism does not fit neatly into a closed monotheistic system. Informed by dreams and visions, the author sheds light on the ways these women inhabited complex sacred-social worlds, entertained flexible notions about divinity, and served as mediators of sacred power in ways that was transformed their communities.

- Description
- The essays in this book address the relationships between gender and the built environment, specifically architecture, in early modern Europe. In recent years scholars have begun to investigate the ways in which architecture plays a part in the construction of gendered identities. So far the debates have focused on the built environment of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to the neglect of the early modern period. This book focuses on early modern Europe, a period decisive for our understanding of gender and sexuality. .Much excellent scholarship has enhanced our understanding of gender division in early modern Europe, but often this scholarship considers gender in isolation from other vital factors, especially social class. Central to the concerns of this book, therefore, is a consideration of the intersections of gender with social rank.

- Description
- During the Holocaust, thousands of Jewish children were separated from their families and hidden in order to save their lives. In Belgium Roman Catholic convents were central to this dangerous rescue effort. The author has interviewed many of the children who were saved, and also the nuns and Mothers Superior who took the huge risk of concealing these innocent children. All of their voices are heard in this book and they paint a picture of the dangers endured under the occupation, and the secrecy required to prevent discovery of the Jewish children.

- Description
- Many Christians do not know the Bible contains female images of God because they have never heard nor seen them in church. This book gives the reader insight into four Christian communities that worship God with female imagery, both as a worship focus and a community identity. These Methodist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, and Catholic congregations operate within their established church denominations and are led by either ordained Protestant ministers or vowed Catholic sisters. Because expressing God-as-She can expose strident claims for maintaining God-as-He, this book shows not only how patriarchy continues to operate in churches today, but also how it is being successfully challenged through liturgy.

- The authors demonstrate how women were able to co-opt the public face of friendship throughout the years. Chronicling shifting attitudes toward friendship from the Bible and the Romans to the Enlightenment to the women’s rights movements of the ‘60s up to Sex and the City and Bridesmaids, they reveal how the concept of female friendship has been linked to social and cultural movements that have defined human history.

- In this biography the reader will follow Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu from her humble Albanian birth to worldwide celebrity as Mother Teresa. The nun who attended to the dying and diseased in Calcutta, India, and established her Missionaries of Charity around the world is revealed to have a singular determination from a young age. As a woman in the patriarchal Catholic system, she had to prove to the hierarchy, even the Vatican, that she was capable of handling each project she proposed. Her vision to live and work among the 'poorest of the poor' as one of them led to the founding of a new order that tended to society's outcasts. The narrative chronicles the expansion and success of the order and the eventual attention that was showered on her efforts.

- Description
- The essays in this volume investigate the lives of six Habsburg women who, as queens-consort, queens-regent, a vicereine, and a nun, left an indelible mark on the diplomatic and cultural map of early modern Europe. Contributors examine the national and transnational impact of these notable women through their biographies, and explore how they transferred their cultural, religious, and political traditions as the women moved from one court to another. Early Modern Habsburg Women investigates the complex lives of Philip II's daughter, the Infanta Catalina Micaela (1567-1597): her daughter, Margherita of Savoy, Vicereine of Portugal (1589-1655): and Maria Maddalena of Austria, Grand Duchess of Florence (1589-1631). The second generation of Habsburg women that the volume addresses includes Philip IV's first wife, Isabel of Borbon (1602-1644), who became a Habsburg by marriage: Rudolph II's daughter, Sor Ana Dorotea (1611-1694), the only Habsburg nun in the collection: and Philip IV's second wife, Mariana of Austria (1634-1696), queen-regent and mother to the last Spanish Habsburg.
