Gender, Church and State in Early Modern Germany by Merry E Wiesner

Gender, Church and State in Early Modern Germany by Merry E Wiesner

This text brings together eleven important pieces by Merry Wiesner, several of them previously unpublished, on three major areas in the study of women and gender in early modern Germany: religion, law and work. The final chapter, specially written for this volume addresses three fundamental questions: Did women have a Reformation?; What effects did the development of capitalism have on women?; and Do the concepts 'Renaissance' and 'Early Modern' apply to women's experience? The book concludes with an extensive bibliographical essay exploring both English and German scholarship.

".. a book that is at once an introduction to and  avindication of women's history over the past twenty years; an outline of women in early modern Germany; and a manifesto for future research in women's history." The historical association, 1999
