Sisters - Myth and Reality of Anabaptist, Mennonite, and Doopsgezind Women, ca 1525-1900

Imagology, not gender studies, sets the stage for the analysis of the perceptions of the European Anabaptist/Mennonite 'sisters', from the 16th-19th centuries, within their religious, moral, cultural and social landscapes of Austria, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Switzerland, and the Ukraine.
