Woman Church and State

Woman Church and State is a seminal work written by the 19th-century suffragist and women's rights activist Matilda Joslyn Gage. The book delves deep into the historical and systemic oppression of women particularly focusing on the role of the Christian Church in perpetuating this subjugation. Gage presents a comprehensive critique spanning various epochs of history to highlight the Church's contribution to women's disenfranchisement in social political and familial spheres. Through extensive research and impassioned prose the book calls for a profound re-evaluation of religious and societal norms urging for gender equality and justice.
