Mrs Luther and her sisters
Regular price

It is a frequent complaint that women have been airbrushed out of history, their contributions forgotten, their voices silenced.
In this superbly written book, historian Derek Wilson redresses the balance, showing how women were crucial to the Reformation. Working alongside men - and sometimes in opposition to them - women were able to study, to speak, to write, to struggle and even to die for what they believed, and to leave behind a record of all these achievements.
From Catharina Luther, through English martyr Anne Askew to Elizabeth I and onwards out into Europe - this book reveals the rich threads women brought to the tapestry of history.
Popular historian Derek Wilson was the highly acclaimed author of over 50 books and wrote and presented numerous television and radio programmes.
