Description
Summary:Within the last fifteen years, historians have begun to explore the impact of Reformation ideas and institutional changes on women and the family, and to evaluate women's roles in the Reformation. These studies make creative use of new methods and sources, but their findings are rarely integrated into general interpretations. This ghettoizing reinforces the idea that the "real" Reformation had nothing to do with women. We need to move beyond this, and integrate gender as a category of analysis as fully as we now integrate class. This will mean rethinking many political and intellectual issues, and analyzing basic terminology.
