Nineteenth-Century Women's Movements and the Bible

<p>Nineteenth-Century Women's Movements and the Bible examines politically motivated women's movements in the nineteenth century including the legal cultural and ecclesiastical contexts of women. Focusing on the period beginning with the French Revolution in 1789 through the end of World War I in 1918 contributors explore the many ways that women's lives were limited in both the public and domestic spheres. Essays consider the social political biblical and theological factors that resulted in a multinational raising of awareness and emancipation for women in the nineteenth century and the strengthening of their international networks.</p>
