Unitarian Women

<p>A celebration of the pioneering achievements of Unitarian women who made a difference to their world - as writers and artists social reformers suffrage activists peace campaigners educators and politicians preachers and ministers - for 200 years from the mid-18th century. As Unitarians they dissented from the orthodox religious doctrines of their time; as women they dissented from the restricted cultural roles prescribed for them by society. They rarely acted alone: they were supported by networks of friends - both women and men - and this book traces some of those complex interconnectons across England Ireland Scotland and Wales.</p>
