Epstein shows that women's religious activity during the 18th & 19th centuries gave rise to a "proto-feminism" that combined protest against female subordination with a commitment to Victorian morality, which also provided pradoxically the grounds for women's self-assertion. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
