Review

a fine synopsis of the early years of Protestantism in North America.
–The Historian

Marilyn Westerkamp has written an informative and intelligent overview of women's religious experiences within the Puritan and evangelical traditions in early America...In elucidating the complex and shifting character of women's religious experience, Westerkamp gives an unexpected meaning to the idea of declension in early American religious history. Journal of the Early Republic. Vol, 21, No. 4. .
By examining the seventeenth-century witchcraft trials and preaching women's endorsement of traditional female roles, she demonstrates how religion afforded opportunities for women's empowerment, while also placing limits on that power. Although specialists in women and religion will find much of this book familoiar, and Westerkamps' vauge definition of evangelicalism confuse the relationship among Purtanism, Quakeism, and Methodism, this book provides a helpful introduction to the study of women and religion.
–Linda S. Neal, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill

Much needed synthesis . . . written with grace and clarity. Westerkamp leads the reader through important transformations that have marked American women's place in the radical Protestant tradition.
–Susan Juster, University of Michigan

Westerkamp weaves a skillful synthesis of both the constraints on and the opportunities for women in the colonial manifestations of English dissenting traditions..
–The Journal of American History, September 2001
