Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

""Women, Church and State"" is a historical account of the status of women throughout Christian history, written by Matilda Joslyn Gage and first published in 1893. The book explores the ways in which women have been oppressed and subjugated by the patriarchal structures of the Christian church and state, and offers a critical analysis of the historical and cultural factors that have contributed to this oppression. Gage draws upon a wide range of historical sources, including religious texts, legal documents, and personal accounts, to provide a comprehensive overview of the ways in which women have been marginalized and excluded from positions of power and influence. She also offers a fascinating insight into the pre-Christian matriarchal societies that once existed, and argues that these societies were far more egalitarian and just than the patriarchal societies that followed. Overall, ""Women, Church and State"" is a groundbreaking work of feminist scholarship that remains relevant and thought-provoking to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
