New Critical Studies on Early Quaker Women, 1650-1800

New Critical Studies on Early Quaker Women, 1650-1800 offers a reassessment of early Quaker women. With a central focus on gender, the contributors highlight new discoveries and interpretations about these transatlantic women Friends. It is the first edited collection to approach the gendered dimension of the Quaker movement. Divided into three parts, the volume connects the richly woven threads of Quaker women's studies: Revolutions, Disruptions, Networks. This authoritative collection crosses divides—between centuries, spanning continents and cultures—and is the first to merge academic disciplines that are often artificially separated and that do not foreground the intricacies of women's experience.
