Stjerna<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Who should read this?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those interested in Reformation history, interdisciplinary studies, and gender studies. The variety of approaches in the individual essays is a delight to explore and could offer ideas for further research for serious reformation scholars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why is this book significant?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, the editor claims that \u201cscholarship on the Protestant reformations have come to a watershed moment,\u201d arguing \u201cthat the lives and works of women have a place in the shaping of the field\u201d (xxiv), and the majority of scholars writing about women reformers in this volume are women. Second, the inclusion of primary texts by women reformers brings these rare, difficult to find documents out of archives, translated into English, and available in one beautiful volume. Third, the broad range of reformation-era women\u2014confessionally, geographically, and socio-economically\u2014is illustrative of the deep and wide influence of the Reformation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What intrigued me the most?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The attention to gender dynamics in the various essays, and the ways in which the individual authors framed the limited material about a particular woman within her social and religious context drew me into each narrative.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Suggestions<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those looking for a Lenten discipline both scholarly and devotional, I commend this book with its thirty-three essays. Though scholarly, the writing is very accessible, and the essays are short (most are 10 to 12 pages). Read one per day on weekdays, beginning on Ash Wednesday, and you\u2019ll finish the final one on Good Friday. Or, if you\u2019re really busy during Holy Week, read weekdays and Saturdays, and finish before Palm Sunday. You\u2019ll be enriched by the religious commitments of these women and their faith in Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kudos (or these are a few of my favorite things)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The women reformers in this volume include the well-known Katharina von Bora, a nun who escaped from her convent and married Martin Luther; Queen Elizabeth I; the lesser known Anna Vasa, a Polish princess; and Anna Jacob\u00e4a Fuggerin, another runaway nun.  Also included are several \u201cthematic chapters\u201d that consider women\u2019s agency in the reforming task of the church more broadly. A sampling of both types of essays follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the biographic essay on Katharina von Bora covered the basics, the essay titled \u201cReading Textiles as Text: Katharina von Bora\u2019s Self-Representation through Dress\u201d was an informative and delightful read. Author Karin J. Bohleke analyzes Katharina\u2019s clothing in three Cranach portraits of her. Her hairnet (silk) with \u201cfancy gold cord, and decorated with elaborate hair band\u201d communicated a \u201ctouch of luxury in a small, affordable amount\u201d (308). The choice of black for her dress \u201crepresents a sober yet expensive choice of color\u201d (306) for \u201ctrue black dye \u2026 was a product of New World discoveries\u201d (304). Bohleke concludes that Katharina dressed as carefully as celebrities do today, and that \u201cshe has carefully constructed a moral and decent public identity\u201d (309) to show that this ex-nun was a worthy partner to one of the most famous men in sixteenth-century Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carole Levin, author of the essay on Queen Elizabeth I, calls into question the conclusion of many scholars that Elizabeth\u2019s religious decisions were based primarily on political expediency and not religious conviction. Drawing on the text of prayers she authored for her personal devotions, the inclusion of silver candlesticks and cross she insisted on keeping in her private chapel, and her nuanced decisions of toleration, Levin argues \u201cthat Elizabeth was a pious and committed Protestant\u201d who \u201ccared about outward conformity but had no desire or need to know what anyone had locked away inside themselves\u201d (137). The texts of three prayers authored by Elizabeth indicates a desire for God\u2019s guidance as she ruled, her role as God\u2019s \u201cinstrument to set forth the glorious Gospel of Thy dear Son,\u201d (139) and, in her hour of deep darkness (as prisoner in the Tower of London), her piety and trust in God: \u201cHelp me now, O God, for I have none other friends but Thee alone\u201d (138).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The essays on two Polish princesses (Katarina Jagiellon, married to a future king of Sweden, and her daughter Anna Vasa) describe the complexities of navigating religious convictions and familial loyalties for royal women, who had little agency in the choice of marriage partners. Author Rasia Maria Toivo concludes that the \u201csubmissive and personal rhetoric characteristic of Katarina\u2019s letters is a convention that women and other marginalized individuals at the time could use \u2026 to gain agency otherwise denied\u201d (346). Her daughter Anna Vasa, a Lutheran, was caught between competing loyalties to her Roman Catholic brother and her Lutheran uncle, rivals to the throne of Sweden; when she ultimately chooses allegiance to her brother, her uncle used his power as others have before and since to \u201cdisgrac[e] an opinionated, influential woman by slandering their shrewdness and portraying them as sexually liberal\u201d (364).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thematic chapter titled \u201cLuther\u2019s Theological Anthropology and View of Women\u2019s Roles\u201d by Else Marie Wiberg Pedersen challenges those who see Luther as one who upheld \u201cstandard norms of male authority over women,\u201d offering evidence to the contrary through his practical reforms. She cites his promotion of free education for males&nbsp;<em>and<\/em>&nbsp;females, and the integration of women into professional positions \u201cof midwives, deacons [responsible for overseeing aid to the poor], and teachers\u201d (273); she also supports her thesis that Luther \u201cextensively teaches the mutual partnership of women and men\u201d through his theological writings, in which, she claims, Luther sees [g]ender differences \u2026 not due to a creational female lack of&nbsp;<em>imago dei<\/em>&nbsp;but rather \u2026 a regrettable consequence of the fall\u201d (270).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But wait! There\u2019s so much more:&nbsp;<br> \u2014 A thrice-married woman, Margarethe Pr\u00fcss, who, with her succession of husbands, ran a printing press for Protestant writings, including Anabaptist authors.<br> \u2014 Anna Jacob\u00e4a Fuggerin, who left her position as subprioress at a convent in Augsburg and fled to her Protestant uncle in Palatinate for refuge.<br> \u2014 Lutheran women rulers, an English martyr, and French and Italian Protestant women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kirsi I.
