Reviews
'This much-needed collection of documents compiled by leading historians in the field, fills a serious lacuna in the literature on Luther ... This volume opens up the subject by making more accessible Luther's observations and attitudes on women ... this is a particularly useful volume for students of this subject ... a book that should appear on the reading list of every undergraduate studying the Reformation.' History
'... drawn from a variety of sources ... a wide-ranging collection which demonstrates the complexity of Luther's thinking about women ... a good aid to understanding Luther's views of women, both in theory and in practice, which goes some way to filling a notable research gap.' Journal of Ecclesiastical History
