Faith and Feminism in Nineteenth-Century Religious Communities

This latest volume in the Bible and Women series is concerned with documenting, through word and image, both well-known and largely unknown women and their relationship to the Bible from the period of the late eighteenth century up to the beginning of the twentieth century. The essays in this collection prove the diversity of feminine reading of the Bible and the broad range of treatment of the Holy Scripture in literature and art across both the European and Anglo-American spheres.
