An original interpretation of the lives and social interactions of Quaker women in the British Atlantic between 1650 and 1750.

Recenzje

'A significant contribution to early modern transatlantic and religious historiography, Pullin indirectly reminds the reader that women's history is everyone's history. … this book is a must- read for scholars and historians of religion and gender studies to as far afield as colonial Quakerism and the British Atlantic.' Allison Kach, Religious Studies Review
